I said what I meant.  It's waiting for data on fd 0.  That's colloquially
known as STDIN.  It can be closed, duped, whatever, and will work even with
no terminal attached.

I don't see /dev/tty entering into it.  It's told to read fd 0, that's what
it does.  What may or may not be done to fd 0 beforehand is anyone's guess.

Most people think the defining traits of human beings are intelligence,
speech, writing, or creativity.  The sad reality is that the most singular
defining quality of humanity is cruelty.  No other species appears to be so
able and willing to inflict pain on its brethren for no logical reason.
