You can do ranged operations like `a random K between X and Y` or `repeat with i running from x to y` are enumerated kinds of value (in the Project Index's sense) and arithmetic kinds of value, i.e., numbers (but not real numbers, which are real arithmetic values), times... and specified kinds of value. You can totally do

a random weight from 100 lbs 0 oz to 200 lbs 15 oz

or

repeat with w running from 6 lbs 0 oz to 8 lbs 15 oz:

So, I think I've gotten more or less to the bottom of one of #Inform7's secrets...

I've mentioned before that the kinds over which one can iterate with `repeat with x running through the Ks`:: enumerated kinds of value, external files, figure names, sound names, scenes, objects, truth states, use options, responses, verbs, table names, action names, or descriptions of values of those kinds.

Units, aka specified kinds of value, are arithmetic values.

Women were hunters in most societies studied, NOT just gatherers.

"Dr. Wall-Scheffler and her students found evidence of women hunting in 50 of the 63 societies they studied; moreover, 87 percent of that behavior was deliberate. In cultures where hunting was the most important means of finding food, women took an active role 100 percent of the time."

"Often, the oldest women participated the most. (In one bow-and-arrow culture, for example, a grandmother was prized for having the best aim.)"

"We are not aggressors, but we watch with pleasure how Odessa is bombed for the third night."

This is how Russian propagandists rejoice in attacks on infrastructure that contribute to global grain trade. And the killing of innocent civilians.
