Really? I was expressing frustration with my code & the situation, not implying there is a bug

Cause yeah, I'm pretty damn frustrated right now cause I wasted a bunch of time on code to do something simple & it didn't work

I've fought with R before, the debugging required is not worth it imo

If you have to test a basic func like rowSums() bc it behaves differently for diff data types or whatever, what will it do w more complexity

It's definitely something with either the dataset itself or other code not the function itself, I just don't see the point in

for me the reason is that by always pushing to learn the harder tool you gain power over time - you'll look back in the future and be amazed

Every time I think "R is wrong", I'm wrong and I learn how to do something new (& often learn that something I've done outside R was wrong).

I agree this is a great thing. Are there higher level tools within R that can warn you when you're screwing up? That'd be really valuable

R following bad instructions or doing something the user didn't intend is ultimately a bad thing if the user doesn't realize it's happening

Coding is hard. That's kind of why I love it. But yes, it is hard. The higher-level tool is your brain only sadly.

*sadly, because coding is hard and it would be nice if there were other higher level tools, but I suppose this is also why it's fun.
