Re: [spoon-discuss] No actions?

[Zarpint Jeremy Cook <mcfoufou@xxxxxxxxx>]

By my argument, none of these are banned either. If they were banned,
referencing would be too, and then nothing could be referenced anyway.

I don't know if anyone's noticed this, but eating or smearing an object
doesn't actually remove it. So we can eat all the objects we want, multiple
times, and nothing at all happens. (They're not defined either.)

I eat the positive integers. I eat them again. I smear them, and then eat
them again.
