Comment on Mushrooms by Jane

Years ago I was on a nature hike with day camp parents, and a European woman talked about a village she’s lived in where people collected mushrooms, and each town had a mushroom expert who could tell you which were poisonous. She said that the Italian people there (she was french) believed that if you ate poisonous mushrooms with a silver utensil you’d be safe. i asked her how that worked out. She said, “A lot of people got sick and some died.”

byhde, it’s simply not a design consideration. Making it possible to declare up to 32 different fields in a single byte header is more valuable than being able to infer any details.

The wire-type declaration is simply enough information to read and skip an unknown message. nothing more.

The idea that scholars would reveal their data is catching fire almost as fast as web sites revealing _full_ APIs, i.e. it ain’t happening except in the most exceptional cases. I wish I was more confident that both were a certain outcome.
