Ok.

As far as I can tell, the current text can never be triggered.

Personally I don't understand what it means, normatively. Either something has
a value in which case retrieving it gives you that value, or, something has a
getter, in which case retrieving it runs the algorithm and returns a value, but
it doesn't itself have a value per se. I don't understand the concept of
something both having a value and having an algorithm run when you call its
getter.
