Many C/C++ programmers acquire the habit to write if (3 == x) instead of if (x == 3), because if you accidentally omit =, the code will still compile - but the meaning will change.

if (3 = x) is illegal assignment, failing compilation.

I thought I was enhancing your point, not arguing it.

Test everything in a Python shell (iPython, Azure Notebook, etc.)

Someone gave you an advice you liked? Test it - maybe the advice was actually bad.
Someone gave you an advice you think is bad? Test it before arguing - maybe it was good.
You posted a claim that something you did not test works? Be prepared to eat your hat.
