I'm afraid that this has left me more confused.

What's normal operation? It sounds rather subjective.

It sounds like there are those who "expect the unexpected" and those who don't, and this plays out in weird programming language usage discussions. Among all the expectations that one could have about a program, people have the impossible choice of being either complete and inconsistent or incomplete and consistent in their operational definition of "normal". Is it not?
