Retardating scripts, one at a time

Other than that while obviously it is a good thing to not intentionally obfuscate scripts, dumbing scripts down other than for learning purposes is not really something I can get behind.

How is it dumbing the script down? There is no difference efficiency-wise. No extra lag is caused, or anything that would be a problem. It's simply a different way of writing it.

How is it more powerful in GScript? It's the same thing. It's not "magic," Stefan made it work like that, thus showing that both ways are acceptable. It's all based on personal preference.
