How is he supposed to refer you to people not saying something? This is most definitely a rather silly request. Can you prove that magic doesn’t exist?

- abrichr 8y ago> How is he supposed to refer you to people not saying something? That's not what I was asking for. I was asking him to refer me to credible people saying that they don't believe Apple was involved. Here is what he said: > Nobody credible believes for a second that Apple was involved, for whatever it’s worth. I thought perhaps he had read about credible people making this claim, or had some other way of knowing what these people believe. I was simply asking for more information, so as to further educate myself. I believe that in the absence of any sources, this claim may suffer from the Argument to the People [1] and Argument from Authority [2] logical fallacies. Full disclosure: I have a MacBook and an iPhone. I enjoy Apple products and respect their business model. And in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, I'm inclined to believe that Apple wasn't involved. I just want to learn more about the subject from people who know more than me.

- ryanlol 8y agoYou seem to assume that “apple planted this backdoor” is a realistic enough claim that someone credible would be willing to waste their time on it. Well, it isn’t.
