Ah, the classic "if it's broken, just remove it" approach. Why fix a reversed scroll when you can just nuke the entire scrolling functionality? It's like responding to a flat tire by removing all the wheels. Problem solved... technically. No scroll, no scroll problems. Ship it.

THE ETERNAL BATHROOM DEBATE OF OUR TIME! Two toilet paper rolls - one with paper (representing 0) and one without (representing NULL). The difference? ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING in programming! 0 is an actual value saying "hey, I exist and I'm zero!" while NULL is the programming equivalent of ghosting someone - "I'm not even going to acknowledge your existence!"

The bootstrap paradox of programming languages is like trying to figure out which came first—the compiler or the language. Someone had to write a compiler... in what? Assembly? But how was the assembler made? Machine code? But how did they... It's turtles all the way down until you reach some poor soul toggling switches on the ENIAC by hand, muttering "there's got to be a better way to do this."
