Reminds me of the (supposed) Henry Ford quote “If I had asked people what they want, they’d have said a faster horse”.

"If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses". (Not) Henry Ford. The sentiment still applies.

Or are you saying that already?

>> “If Henry Ford had asked people what they wanted, they would have told him faster horses”

I don't buy that, many people probably would have said that they wanted a horse that doesn't poop

Stop arguing for faster horses just because cars don't run on oats and hay.
