I wasn't wording things clearly. The 200k is just the median residual debt from medical school alone. People don't tend to pay it off much during residency years though, since residency pay is relatively low (50-70k). Lots of th

Optimizing compilers are tricky this way, if you want to do it with optimzations turned on, you usually have to make the work "real" in some sense. Sometimes making enough nesting depth that the compiler can't fully reason i
