Everyone should pay attention because this is an almost textbook case of a disguised "begging the question."
We shouldn't listen to the points the OP made because he read them elsewhere and they are largely baseless. Why are they largely baseless? Because he read them elsewhere and they are largely baseless.
The conclusion is assumed in the argument itself therefore the "argument" really isn't an argument at all.
- ergo98 16y agoNot really. The points the OP makes are the same points that are repeated again on every god damn story relating to Android or Apple, They aren't baseless, and probably had merit the first hundred thousand times they were argued over, however at this point they're just boring. Every single discussion on global warming or left versus right or socialized health care is overwhelmingly dominated by the same rote repetition, and it's unfortunate when that tactic infects technology discussions. It's just noise. It's people trying to toss in the standard grenades to attempt to get some sort of points for their team. Talking point "debates" could be had by robots. They're just noise on the web.
