"Did you really name your son Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;-- ?"

"Oh, yes. Little Bobby Tables, we call him."

why would this get a single downvote? i suspect the underlying reason to the restriction is somewhat related to sanitising input.

I suspect because Isaac Asimov was named before any of these problems with his name were a thing and his name is not something artificially constructed to cause problems with buggy computer systems.

I did not downvote, but I don't like reading the same xkcd references over and over, so I can imagine others feel the same way.
