I'm 47 - fun to see this as the age used to illustrate "too-young-to-go". I agree. If things go well, someday my age won't qualify for this use-case anymore.

As a longtime LaTeX user, I find this behavior irritating, not once has it saved me effort. I would much rather have LaTeX exit to shell immediately and to report a good error. Instead, the dynamic "fix" is applied in opaque manner, totally unclear what the compiler did, it optimizes for "patch the input so compilation runs to completion" instead of "do what the user wanted", and once LaTex has finished, the user still must manually edit the original file to get a proper solution.

No. "pedaling!=peddling".

I had same thought - I suspect there is no upper bound. There are other examples of this sort of thing, but Hawking was new to me.

Hawking! Stephen Hawking!
