It is true that prepending to a linked list is also Θ(1), but I'm not
sure if it's carelessness that causes many programmers to use big-O.
It's that what we care about is worst-case performance. So knowing that
we have a lower bound isn't usually that interesting. What we want to
know is whether it will blow up in our face as "n" gets large.

This seems quite acceptable.

Plus typing non-ascii characters is annoying. :)

I expected this to be a reason. :)
