standardization allows?

Standardization helps avoid the readability and reliability problems
which arise when many different individuals create their own slightly
varying implementations, each with their own quirks and naming
conventions.

Standardization allows RCA cables, bumpers, and 115V plugs. The Bill
of Rights allows Huckleberry Finn. What is the analogue of the Bill
of Rights for programmers and users, whether of programming languages
or latter-generation software?

Magnavox is free to make proprietary connection cable. BNSF is free
to make train car trucks that are not 11' across. Python programmers
are free to do X their way.

The std. lib. has readability and reliability problems. Individuals
created their own slightly varying implementation. It has its own
quirks and naming conventions. This is RCA cable; it goes in.

I don't think a Turing Test program is this good - it's been steered
manually.

This seems to be a lazy spurt from a Turing Test program.

Should do better F-

That's actually from the standard library documentation.

sentence 2.
