* `join()` is a string operation instead of list operation. (sort of counter-intuitive at first usage)
**💡 Explanation:**
If `join()` is a method on a string then it can operate on any iterable (list, tuple, iterators). If it were a method on a list, it'd have to be implemented separately by every type. Also, it doesn't make much sense to put a string-specific method on a generic list.

Also, it's string specific, and it sounds wrong to put a string-specific method on a generic list.
* Few weird looking but semantically correct statements:
+ `[] = ()` is a semantically correct statement (unpacking an empty `tuple` into an empty `list`)
+ `'a'[0][0][0][0][0]` is also a semantically correct statement as strings are iterable in Python.
