> What determines the flight level of understanding you need to function?

The level where r and fl are seen as different letters?

Look, I know this comes off like I'm being an ass, which means I am being an ass, and I'm sorry. I also make many mistakes and need much forgiveness.

I'm also seeing many more innocent typos such as yours on HN. Does it matter? I don't know. Every other response to your question seemed to understand that you meant "right" instead of "flight", but that's also the kind of error, i.e. `if x=1` instead of `if x==1` which is easy to make but not always easy to catch visually when you are looking at the logic internal to the loop.

To me, bending "right" to "flight" reads like a fun way to clarify that the question is not about proficiency but about depth. Not a typo the way I read it.
