That wasn't sarcasm, it was indicating the result of using the magic
number in preference to the filename without warning the user.
I have tried various ways of trying to explain this risk to you but
you don't seem to understand any of them. I thought perhaps a
reductio ad absurdum[1] argument might help. Apparently not.
I'm sorry you don't like the form of argument I used. Do you have a
list of other types of logical argument you find offensive, so I can
avoid making a similar mistake again?
