Thanks Lex for this video, which is a nice side car tangent to the topic that you brought up toward the end of #6.  Seems the elements of the Zen covered to some degree Guido's resistance to the operator, along with your Criticisms slide, which I'm assuming also matched Guido's thoughts on the matter. I'm not sure though if I understood from the video, the other side, meaning why those fighting for PEP 572 dug their heels in on it.  Why they thought that Python was worse or hobbled without it. And why they felt Guido was wrong. Also, while I'm relatively new to Python, I noticed when you "import this" to access the Zen statements, the "one and only one" sentence has been changed to these two: "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it." and "Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch."  Even if that was done in jest, it's disappointing the lack of professional courtesy in its tone.
