I agree with you there, the parent was decrying the nature of AASP repairs.

> The issue here is dishonest commercial speech

We understand that was the target in this case. The parent was pointing out that there's more damage caused by another kind of speech.

When you lose your keys, do you look where it's easiest to look or where they're likely to be?

Oh I wasn’t complaining about the parent, I was complaining it needed to be said.

We are talking about a failure of the system, in the context of a concrete example. Talking about how the system actually works is only appropriate if you are drawing specific arguments up about how this situation is an anomaly, and few of them do that.

Instead it often sounds like “it’s very unusual for the front to fall off”.

I don't think that's what the parent was saying at all. They were just providing an on-topic anecdote.

Not sure I understand what you're saying - are you disagreeing with something the parent said?

I believe the parent was missing a `/s`, and was in fact pointing out how a profit driven ethic is actually quite ruinous.

I agree, but the parent was referring to this tool I believe.

The parent didn't display any rigidity of thinking, they simply criticized your inaccurate characterization of engineering work... a point which your non sequitur reply does not address.

I think we all agree on that.

The Parent was just saying that his father complains about these "hidden problems" and the parent wished his father would strike out on his own and solve some of them.

But thats just how I read it.

Think parent is simply illustrating what the medical case might look like in a garage. I'd say point is made.

doktrin | karma 6105 | avg karma 3.33 · | 2015-12-01 10:28:34

Agreed. The parent was making a fairly disingenuous comparison.

Eisenstein | karma 3878 | avg karma 2.03 · | 2023-06-04 21:42:27

I think the parent was saying that it could be done, not that it is being done.

faktory | karma 17 | avg karma 1.31 · | 2023-02-05 09:05:15

Yes but that's a technical issue. I took the parent as making a philosophical point and responded in that spirit.

I'm not an expert, but your statement seems confusing and possibly misses the point of the parent.

drcongo | karma 5478 | avg karma 2.27 · | 2022-07-25 08:34:12

Parent had quite clearly read the article, but I suspect you hadn't read all of their post before replying with whatever this is.

> Parent wasn’t taking away from the intention of design

Yes they were, very literally, and incorrectly to boot

That was part of the incorrect opinion parent was saying the user had.

gouggoug | karma 2137 | avg karma 5.62 · | 2020-01-26 19:16:33+00:00

I think the parent was being sarcastic, referring to the really poor quality of the report.

pstrateman | karma 1352 | avg karma 2.8 · | 2022-03-05 16:00:15

I think you're agreeing with the parent.

It wasn’t my intention to claim to be an expert on the situation, as much as it was mostly to share a story and point out that there’s a large grey area here.

The parent definitely was factual and correct, but the tone made it sound a bit as if they thought my reasons for doing so were incorrect. That would be a bit of a stretch, and I think that’s what was bothering @naikrovek
