It's literally exactly what I said.

- bchanudet 6y agoI think it's because "wife test" looks a lot like "wife acceptance factor" [1], which has a much more degrading meaning than what you wanted to convey. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wife_acceptance_factor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wife_acceptance_factor
- igorbark 6y agosorry for assuming & the curt reply. "the wife test" is a common turn of phrase relying on/reinforcing the stereotype of women as non-technical and men as technical. it's not really clear in your original post that you are literally referring to your wife's opinion of the device vs simply invoking the sexist phrase to describe the device's user friendliness for non-hackers. i hope you can see how i took it the wrong way, though i still apologize for jumping to conclusions
