Well, I learned something about UNIX from this, but not
what the author intended. It turns out "yes" is also a
UNIX command.
Costello: Hey, Abbott, is there a command to be repetitively
affirmative?
Abbott: Yes.
Costello: What is it?
Abbott: No. Yes!
Or how about ...
Costello: There is a command to return exit status zero.
Abbott: True.
Costello: Then there must be a command to return exit status one.
Abbott: False.
etc.
