I'm not sure how that context changes the sentence. If you're saying Gruber is referring to those critics in particular (rather than all critics, or critics in general), he should have started his sentence with "These iPhone critics..." Or, to add context to my test sentences:
"John Smith weighs in at an astounding 350 pounds, but that's not hard to understand. Americans rarely get any exercise."
The second sentence still means what it meant before.
- pohl 16y agoI'm not sure how that context changes the sentence. The context makes it obvious which sentences are part of the author's thesis, and which are snark. Quoting the snark in isolation tells you only that Gruber is capable of sarcasm. Edit: what's most interesting to me here is that Hank doesn't seem at all interested in Gruber's thesis, let alone in attacking it. He just seems interested in attacking Gruber.
