Yes. So, if I force a value, like say, I very naively do what I would do in any other programming language, I try to print something I don't understand (How are all of the python derivations stored, I wonder if I can print them?), the result is that I create endless garbage and .. sit there pointlessly looking at an empty screen. Evaluating derivations shouldn't result in work being performed. It should result in derivations being printed to the screen.

But.. it doesn't really matter that much because half of the datastructures in Nix are so circular that you couldn't print them out anyway.
