@RobertHarvey serious actually. I've seen it so much times "moderators" closed this that whatever question, and I can't recall even single case when I saw a not-too-experienced reader would say "5 high-rep suckers closed it". To them, closures are all about "mods"
But what does that have to do with proforma comments in questions?

@JimmyHoffa Or possibly what object dispatch is. I'm not sure if it actually violates liskov substitution or not. I think it violates liskov.
@JimmyHoffa So this has a purpose then? A well-placed comment should suffice.
@RobertHarvey No, it has no purpose, it's purpose is "Because my interface made me, even though I can't", I'll comment it but it's still dirty because a consumer won't know whether they'll get an implementation that does support Count or one that doesn't now that there is one that doesn't
@RobertHarvey ...actually, recalling my first year or something at SO / Programmers, I can tell to me it was definitely so. Closures were "magic done by them mods". As opposed to this, comments never felt that way. Comments were all familiar stuff, I knew what it's about from other "forums" experience. Comments never were magic

@gnat I thought all closures were mods when I was new to SO until I got rep and started noticing the privileges thing
But I'm a bad indicator, what with all the knocks to the head and all
One shaft of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day
It's a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
It's a kind of magic
This flame that burns inside of me
I'm hearing secret harmonies
mods oh those immortals
there could be only one. ChrisF is going to win
