[erlang-questions] {1} > 100 returns true ?!

[Michael McDaniel]

 Per documentation in the reference manual section 6.11 Term Comparison,
 numbers compare less than tuples ...

"The arguments may be of different data types. 
 The following order is defined:
number < atom < reference < fun < port < pid < tuple < list < bit string"


 If you are asking *why* that design decision was made, I do not know.
