_{"Wikipedia.  No original research.  Yes, I have actually read that page."}

[SOLDIER First]

Esi blinks, several times in a row.

"I see?"

[Powder Miner]

"I, uh... wikipedia?"

[TheBiggerFish]

<sub>"Esi: So what do you think I've said?

Lidia:You don't...?  I'll show you later if you want."</sub>

[SOLDIER First]

"You have said "Esi: So what do you think I've said?

Lidia:You don't...?  I'll show you later if you want."."

[TheBiggerFish]

_{"...Well I got what I asked for.  What do you think the point I was trying to convey in that debate was?  What revelation did you just have?  That is, when you said "I see?" and blinked."}

[Powder Miner]

"Well... you know... wandering and all."

[TheBiggerFish]

_"Yeah..."

[SOLDIER First]

"Your point was error: stack overflow. Please allocate additional memory and retry."

[TheBiggerFish]

_"Exactly."

[SOLDIER First]

"But I have not answered your question."

[TheBiggerFish]

_{"But my point is that you only have so much memory and you shouldn't fill it with trivial stuff, so a stack overflow is actually a decent metaphor."}

[SOLDIER First]

"I have not filled my memory with trivial stuff."

[TheBiggerFish]

_{"Nor have I, is the point, so why waste effort conveying information you can be decently sure won't be made note of?  If someone needs more precision, they can ask."}

[SOLDIER First]

"They do not need to ask if I provide sufficient precision initially."
