Yes it does make sense in context. Using the word robbers to mean "taking the lives of animals" does not make sense in context and is a stretch beyond the imagination. Also, I never asked, "what were they stealing from the animals," and I don't appreciate you quoting words I never said!

It can also mean to overcharge someone, which is likely how it is used here. The exorbitant price of sacrificial animals is multiply attested. The poor couldn't afford it

I'm not sure how your interpretation is meant to work out. I don't see how people would be compelled to give their belongings to someone if the threat is directed towards random sacrificial animals. Are you trying to say that they were stealing from the sacrificial animals themselves, and that's why he called them robbers? It doesn't make any sense to me.

That's not true. He denounced them for price gouging gentiles who came to the temple to make sacrifices. He didn't call them murderers - he called them thieves.

It would be easy depending on your company's git practices. Complicated git workflows can leave room for you to slip stuff in unnoticed or misattributed. I mean, it still has to pass a review, but a lot of the devs I work with don't review that closely. Could just assign a lazy dev to the review and increase your odds of getting it through.

It's not the same, and you kinda answered your own question with that quote. Consider what happens when an object defines both dunder bool and dunder len. It's possible for dunder len to return 0 while dunder bool returns True, in which case the falsy-ness of the instance would not depend at all on the value of len
