I do like that easter egg. Would never do anything like that in my own code, but it's still neat.

I like how the 2 errors that come up are contradictory:
[image]It tells you 2 arguments max, then gives instructions that use THREE arguments...
Admin
You appear to be lacking reading comprehension.
puppet help
only takes two (optional) arguments.IOW, a valid
puppet help
would look like this:puppet help (arg1) (arg2)
An example would be:puppet help help help
Admin
It says: Puppet help (as in using 'Puppet' for help) Not: 'Puppet help' (as in The Command Is 'Puppet Help')
YMMV.

I think the Grammaticist's Interpretation (TM) is:
Puppet requires one argument and accepts up to two additional optional arguments.
Thus % puppet help % puppet help me % puppet help me Beatles are all legal, but % puppet help Beatles best movie is not.

Ok, but in the top instance the command is not surrounded by single quotes, while in the bottom instance it is. So is the top line referring to the command, or simply the help feature of Puppet?
BUT OF COURSE IT's REDWIZARD'S READING COMPREHENSION THAT IS AT FAULT, NOT THE DUMBSHIT OPEN SOURCE ASPIE CODER WHO WROTE THAT FUCKING TERRIBLE ERROR MESSAGE.

(No, this post is not empty)

Admin
The error message was perfectly clear to me, but then we've discussed your lack of comprehension of simple English before, along with your propensity to play dumb.
Why you gotta pick on disabled people? This isn't the first time you've done this. Stop it.
Admin
It's not completely incomprehensible, but it is a pretty shit error message
Admin
Okay, how'd that go?
Ah, they failed right out of the gate.
In fact, they failed so much they failed recursively.
