    I’ve never heard of this until now, so take it with several grains of salt.

    I’d imagine the complaints stem from the fact that she was never in charge of the country.
    But then they should have complained when Ben Franklin was announced.
    Or maybe they did complain when Ben Franklin was announced, but you can’t really go “look at these bigots hating on Benjamin Franklin,” so that wasn’t shared around as much.
    Of course even if that were the case, there would be people who draw the line at Tubman and not Franklin anyways, which could be a case of actual bigotry.
    Or maybe a significant subset of the audience wasn’t taught in school that Tubman was that influential, and sees this as blowing a historical figure out of proportion.

    For 1, that’s why you say “Format your answer in this exact sentence: The number of bytes required (rounded up) is exactly # bytes., where # is the number of bytes.” And then regex for that sentence. What could go wrong?

    Also, it can do math somewhat consistently if you let it show its work, but I still wouldn’t rely on it as a cog in code execution. It’s not nearly reliable enough for that.

    Human reaction time is ~0.25 seconds.
    At 20 mph, you’re going ~29 ft per second, so you go ~7.3 ft before you can react.
    At 25 mph, that’s ~37 ft per second, so ~9.2 ft before you can react.

    The internet says a good car can break at about 15 f/s^2.
    At 29 f/s, that comes out to a stopping distance of ~28 ft.
    At 37 f/s, that’s ~46 ft.

    So Anne, who’s annoying for some reason, needs a total of ~35 ft to stop just before hitting the child.
    Norman needs ~9 ft to start decelerating, so by the time he reaches the 35 ft mark (after ~26 ft of hitting the brakes,) it’s been a total of ~0.98 seconds, and he is going ~26 f/s, which is ~18 miles per hour.
