This is a bit tongue-in-cheek but really, when was the last time Amir or
Christophe discussed eval? *Occaisionally* they talk about datastructures, very
rarely search, but never eval.

Amateur programmers do understand eval a little bit but nothing more than the
usual rook on 7th, knights in the center, etc.
