I don't have anything against annotations - I've been known to use them myself
. Occasionally, though, they are unusable - Robot Framework despises them 
I think I need to add some clarification - since no code analysis tool will tolerate 200-300 characters long code lines
, adding annotations is pure cosmetics.
Test everything in a Python shell (iPython, Azure Notebook, etc.)
- Someone gave you an advice you liked? Test it - maybe the advice was actually bad.
- Someone gave you an advice you think is bad? Test it before arguing - maybe it was good.
- You posted a claim that something you did not test works? Be prepared to eat your hat.
