Is Beldin really nitpicking you?
The way I read Beldin's comment was that it essentially agrees with your post. And HN's guidelines say:
>Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
- soneca 6y agoI also didn’t read that comment as nitpicking. It wasn’t doubting the author knowledge about the criticism, it was mentioning that the author was not aware of the reason of why that was made, was able to have access to it and could have used improperly if she didn’t know any better. But she did. It is like someone else commented, there are reasonable, ocasional use cases for this that are safe, but the cable should be locked somewhere with the name of the person that knows why it was built in it; so it’s not out in the wild for abuse. That’s only my perception of course.
