This is often referred to as le mot juste.

Yes, that is absolutely what I'm saying. Obviously not because it's Wikipedia's policy, but because all information is provisional. All information should be regarded with varying levels of confidence never approaching 100%.

If you ask about my breakfast, I could be lying to you or recall yesterday's breakfast instead of today's or whatever.

I don't see why you have to impersonate me to make this point.

How would you know I'm telling you the truth?

It seems to me the problem is that people think there even exists such a thing as an authoritative source.

How can there be no screenshots?

No, it will not. Nobody does this.

How is this a rebuttal? If anything, this furthers the author's case.

EDIT: nevermind, the language was fixed.

I did not successfully parallel park in my test and still passed. Thankfully I learned how on my own, but still.

U.S.? If so, me too, and I think we have horribly insufficient driving instruction here. Maybe it varies by state, but yeah, we didn't go on the freeway, I didn't really learn how to parallel park, I didn't learn anything about highway ettiquette (i.e. keep right unless passing), etc.

I wish we were required to have many, many more training hours before being licensed, especially in the colder climates with icy conditions on the regular.

Agree completely, that's why I said "probably" :)

EDIT: Comments are useful for explaining things like:

1. Non-obvious side effects

2. Code that's working around a bug in a 3rd party library

3. Code that calls into some non-intuitive 3rd party API

4. Citing your work (e.g. "adapted from stackoverflow.com/blah123")

5. Why you used pattern A instead of the more standard pattern B
