 Without the type constraint, we wouldn't be able to access those properties because the values might have been some other type without a length property.
 
 The types of `longerArray` and `longerString` were inferred based on the arguments.
-Remember, generics are all about relating two or more values with the same type!
+Remember, generics are all about relating two or more values with the same type! That’s why the call to longest([1, 2], 'alice') is rejected, since the arguments are of different types, breaking the generic constraint that both must match.
 
 Finally, just as we'd like, the call to `longest(10, 100)` is rejected because the `number` type doesn't have a `.length` property.
