This is prime Babbage material

Love this. It reminds me of Pauli's "It is not even wrong"

I always thought it was asking if the machine was rigged to give fixed answers regardless of the input. Like, you call it an addition function but it secretly always returns 15. If you call my_add(5, 10) it spits out the correct 15. If you call my_add(9, 9) it spits out the "correct" answer of 15.

The instructor can't remember what any of those words mean because they've read too much pseudo code with memory leaks.

I should have invented a pseudo code with garbage collection!

I personally don't think my pseudo code requiring multiple terabytes of memory is a problem, it just needs much more optimization when being turned into actual code.
