Irony overload. So when friends and family come over, are they "you" as

Don't keep your Apple devices in your bedroom?

That's painfully obvious. You can't deal with people making reasonable
criticisms of your flawed logic or blatant lies.

A poor communicator always blames their audience when it's them at fault.

A-ha! That's a start. However, of course, sharing code like this is brain
dead. Especially python where spacing matters so much. There are so, so
many code sharing websites out there.
From a quick scan I can see some issues. In particular, this code scales
n^2 which is very inefficient. Why are you outputting everything to text
files? How do you compare results between runs? That's really poor
practice. Use a database.
Then there's the lack of error checking...

Why do you feel so threatened?
Let's remember your claim. You said:

Your code is nowhere near this.
