As I said, I quoted from my second reply in the thread,
which was to Jean Louis.  The "you" refer to is in that
quoted reply to him.  "You" meant Jean, there.

And the context was "number of arguments".  And as I
pointed out, Elisp has nullary functions: functions
that take zero arguments.  "Any number of arguments"
_means_, for Elisp, "zero or more args" -- "number"
here _must_ include the number zero.  Nothing more.
