::::: There ''is'' no requirement that you <u>load</u> a dictionary, so talking about task requirements (even trivial ones) dealing with loading, filtering and storing the dictionary '''IS COMPLETELY BESIDES THE POINT'''. The requirement is that you '''use''' a specific dictionary. How it is done is peripheral to the task. The task is '''Find words containing the substring "the"'''. In what way does loading the dictionary for this ''task'' differ from that in: [[Prime words]] or [[Odd words]] or [[Alternade words]] or [[ABC words]] or [[Teacup_rim_text]] or many others? It doesn't. <quote>It's common sense</quote> But it is '''not''' a requirement, so using that as a justification for why this task is different '''IS COMPLETELY BESIDES THE POINT'''.
:::::::: I never used it as a justification, it was just a comment. Just saying that it's completely besides the point doesn't make it so. Saying it in all caps doesn't make it true. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 20:46, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
::::: That brings us back to the actual task requirements, essentially, filter a list based on some substring thereof; much like [[String matching]] or [[ABC words]], two tasks among many that quite admirably cover this concept quite well. The point this whole thread started with was "Please lets cut down on the largely redundant tasks". Using examples of irrelevant implementation details and what the programmer <quote>decides to implement</quote> as argument for why it is not, is disingenuous at best. --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 20:14, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
