Namespacing: When Your Variable Scope Causes Thermonuclear Annihilation

Namespacing: When Your Variable Scope Causes Thermonuclear Annihilation

When you ask the computer to notify you about "hot" temperatures but forget to specify the namespace:

Computer: "Define 'hot'"

Programmer: "Let's say 1.9 million kelvins"

Captain Picard: "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot."

And this, friends, is why we have variable scope. The universe literally explodes when your Star Trek references override your temperature monitoring system. Should've used temperature.hot instead of just hot. Classic rookie mistake that ends in thermonuclear annihilation.
