Yes, code that's unprepared for variable input can break when input varies. So use code that is prepared for it, like each().

And thank you for your anecdote, but i have never and will never stop doing something merely because some guy on the internet points out that some completely other person in a different context failed to pull it off.

How else can i spell this out... you do not need to worry about the distinction between nodes and node lists, if you just use each(). It's a proxy function that deals with the abstraction for you, just like jQuery's wrapper object does.

YOU. DO. NOT. NEED. AN. OBJECT. TO. HAVE. AN. ABSTRACTION.

Thank you and good night.
