As long as it needs to be.

@SW-User And how long does it need to be?
SW-User
@OliRos it cannot be answered in absolute terms with ambiguous parameters.
It needs to be as long as it is needed to be in use at any particular time, undefined and infinite possibilities.

@SW-User Absolutely, I think this is a clear step forward in our search for the truth.
SW-User
@OliRos what are the parameters of this truth? Because if it's how long is this string, then there isn't one truth.

@SW-User Which string?
SW-User
@OliRos 👀 well done.

@SW-User As opposed to the medium rare variety?

We need to concentrate on the string or we will get nowhere.
SW-User
@OliRos okay. Describe the string.

@SW-User I can tell you that it looks like string, feels like string, smells like string. If it could waddle or quack, it would waddle and quack like string. It is echt string.

The only thing I cannot tell you is how long it is.

And now I must get back to my law books and leave this research in your capable hands.
