I feel like a lot of really smart people are really naive about public relations.
PR exists to protect the company from the masses and the lawyers. We in the tech community should not waste time personalizing a response to pr communications. We are not the target market. It is the general public and politicians they are trying to persuade. If they ameliorate them, they win and can move on to the next fight.
They will play word games and fiddle with language. It is not worth responding to PR if you deeply understand the problem. You will only find problematic statements. You will never get satisfaction because satisfying the technical community is a fundamental error for anyone who knows what they are doing in public relations.
There are other venues for us. Patch notes and tech forums are worthy of your time.
