That's the silliest thing for you to bikeshed about.

In a serious code review, that isn't even a starter of an issue, if you have context surrounding that variable. Furthermore `input` is an actual Python function, and shortening an example for learning purposes is not the same as asking other people do the same in production code.

haha you should see the code review comments at my <current job>. Random people spend hours bickering over variable names, while completely overlooking real issues in the code and rubberstamping their friends. It's like a friggin cult.
