Isn't this just a matter of being clear of inclusive or exclusive ranges? Perhaps this is merely a provocation that the general perception of exclusivity or inclusivity rests in the casual programmer's perception (rather than the specification of which I confess ignorance)?

Or is the provocation in measuring the contour of a coast? Can it be measured more precisely (surely it can)? In which case is the provocation one of mere precision?

Or is the provocation one which asks how many fairies may fit on the head of a pin?
