Old Thing does W, X and Y imperfectly.
New Thing does W and Z imperfectly.
Therefore, New Thing is doomed.
- root_axis 8y agoThis analogy doesn't tell us anything useful. It is not a logical certainty that W, X and Y render the need for W and Z useless, but it's certainly logically permissible depending on the actual values of the variables.
- lucozade 8y agoMore like... Old thing does W imperfectly. New thing does X. Proponents claim that X solves W's imperfections. Turns out that it doesn't. Opponents claim that X hasn't much value then, so it's doomed.
