Mockery? Hardly. The real intention was to use an analogy to prove the absurdity of the comment. I’m sure plenty of Ram 3500 HD drivers consider themselves professionals yet have no need for a semi truck. Any argument for/against these machines that hinges on the definition of “professional” is inherently worthless because “professional” is such a broad spectrum. I know plenty of professionals who use an 11” MacBook Air. Your definition of professional is not the same as everyone else’s, and it’s ridiculous to try to fit everyone else to your own mold. Basically, stop using the argument “no REAL professional would ever...”. It’s a worthless argument.

Mockery? Hardly. The real intention was to use an analogy to prove the absurdity of the comment. There was no absurdity in the comment you answered on. Apple pitches the machine for a general "professional" audience, especially as it is the only modular Mac offerring. But in fact they only designed (and more importantly) priced it for a very special subsection of the professional audience. So they should be more specific in their pitch and also offer a modular machine for the rest of the professional users. And your original comment would have been more constructive, if you had tried to make your point explicitly, as you are doing now. Your definition of professional is not the same as everyone else’s, and it’s ridiculous to try to fit everyone else to your own mold. I am not doing so. The original poster (and I agree) just also wants a modular Mac machine. Basically, stop using the argument “no REAL professional would ever...”. It’s a worthless argument. I have nowhere said that, please stop putting words into my mouth.
