Without knowing what those "random" projects are, or what the grep was, 
it's impossible to interpret that statistic. For example, is it biased 
by the existence of the assert keyword? Do they represent programmers' 
free choices, or the projects' compulsory style guides?

Thank you for acknowledging that as a personal preference rather than 
making another spurious claim of objective superiority.
