    A brick is a brick. It can be used to make a wall or hold paper down. That brick will never “wake up” and become more than a brick. A brick is not soft. A brick is not temporary. If you have a brick, it does not and will not ever work for anything except masonry.

    The word “literally” has real meaning and so does the concept of a “brick” in electronics. These things are immutable. Do not change the meaning of “immutable”.
