- pbreit 10y agoI was just wondering what the author had in mind. But now that you ask, yes I think it does. Without a suggestion the opinion is pretty much worthless.
- RussianCow 10y agoYou really think we shouldn't criticize things if better alternatives don't currently exist? The fact that someone hasn't come up with a better approach doesn't imply that the status quo is the best possible solution.
