last time I checked it was in fact wrong*: localhost seeems to use
127.0.0.1 not a unix pipe

I know this because whilst I could use the mysql client on a particular

127.0.0.1 as well.

Ineptocracy

(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to
lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the
members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are
rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a
diminishing number of producers.
