I had fun re-reading it as well.

Ben, I'm hoping you (or someone else here) can elaborate on this part at
the end:

I wasn't aware that E supported lazy evaluation. Is this an obtuse
reference to E's promise system? While this allows some sense of "data
driven" evaluation, I'd never thought of it as qualifying for "lazy
evaluation" in the traditional sense. I'm hoping someone can clarify
this point.

Cheers
