I did not expect someone to actually respond, none the less in such an educational and constructrual manner. Thank you for the references and articles. I've been going through Paul Hudson's course works and I haven't come across him actually talking about this outside of the linked article which seems relatively new compared to everything else.

Again, thank you!

1. Didn't know you you had the choice to no use the "return" keyword for one-liners.
2. Is this actually considered standard or best practice?
