"This also means that you shouldn't ever assign useful quantities to variables named T and F. Sorry. Other variable names that you cannot use are c, q, t (!), C, D, and I."
Note the contradiction of that limitation and the name of the language. Makes the name even more exceptional.
Is he right? What's with the scope? Can't I introduce a new T in my function thus just hiding the global one from it, but otherwise not disturbing anything? (I don't know R, I'm just asking, reading that the variables have the function scope)
