Arch is the best! without a quine

From Esolang

Arch is the best! without a quine is the quine-avoiding constant language QuineAvoiding("Arch is the best!", "Yes, Arch is the best!"). It is like Arch is the best!, but if you type this:

Arch is the best!

it outputs:

Yes, Arch is the best!

Anything else outputs:

Arch is the best!

Proof that the code Arch is the best! is an infinitely looping iterative quine

If you type Arch is the best!, you get this:

Yes, Arch is the best!

Which in turn outputs:

Arch is the best!

which causes an infinite loop.
