Only recently learned about the radioactivity of bananas - in a GCSE physics past paper I was helping my son with the other day, one of the questions concerned using the Banana Equivalent Dose (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose) as a whimsical but more human-meaningful unit of (ionizing) radiation exposure.

Exactly. If you need an expert to constantly babysit the machine then you may as well dispense with the machine and have the expert build the wall themselves.

Conversely, Smalltalk is left-to-right, so

a + b * c is (a + b) * c

which is simply a result of every operation being a message send - muddling the rules with precedence would be likewise confusing, and would ruin the simplicity of the grammar.
