That is a completely invalid argument. I wrote "many people proposed
basically the same thing", and then you try to refute it by stating that
there was one guy who didn't. This is a non-sequitur. Secondly, your claim
is not even true, because Glavo wanted to set a flag in the main module.
That is not zero flag no matter how I count it.
