By opening with "Not true" you're establishing a contrarian position, which puts people -- likely the author, potentially even the reader -- on the defensive, emotionally.
It's sufficient and actually a lot nicer to simply state your point: e.g. "Zero-sized structs are quite useful too."
- littlestymaar 9y agoI agree for the author's point of view, but as a reader I enjoy contradiction and argumentation because that's where I learn most. Then when I see someone starting with `not true` or `I disagree`, I immediately interested in reading more. YMMV though.
