No, I think I'm saying the same thing you are. Local variable have,
and should have, a local scope. They can't be seen or used or
otherwise accessed outside that scope. Bug global variables violate
that scope - they're always around poking their global noses into all
the other namespaces. You can have a local xyz in one script and a
local xyz in another script with no problem. But having a local xyz
and a global xyz both available in the same script just strikes me as
an accident waiting to happen.
