Not if they are smart. If they are smart, they are both aware of their past experiences and check that they actually hold before they rely on them. If relying on the past produces unreliable results, it would be stupid to continue to attempt to rely on them and just become frustrated. | Since Lisp does not behave they way people expect and are used to | confusion results. Only if you do not stop relying on past experiences when they fail to produce the expected results. /// -- In a fight against something, the fight has value, victory has none.
