+> Also, there is often a trade-off between accuracy and education. For example, when I correct my toddler that the Sun is actually not moving, but we are rotating. That's wrong, the Sun *is* moving, but arguably less wrong than his impression. (I once tried to give him the full explanation, but halfway through he ran away to play with his trains.)

+> Not that readers of the Rust book are toddlers, but the principle generalizes in my experience.
