I don't see any part of the comment that implies that Apple can do no wrong.

I don't see any part of the comment that implies that Apple can do no wrong.
- eganist 6y agobut Gruber's post is certainly implying as much. > That’s exactly what Apple is doing — giving users awareness over what is going on, and control over it.
- anthonygd 6y agoThat doesn't imply that everything Apple does is good, it states that in this case Apple is doing good.
- eganist 6y agoThe two are not mutually exclusive, and stating a general practice ("giving ... control over it") without further criticisms or clarifications in a given post is exactly what creates a general implication. I'm not really here to debate. You can disagree, but considering John's well-discussed pro-Apple bias (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9345312 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9345312), it seems others agree that his writing often goes out of its way to frame Apple in more of a positive light than Apple likely deserves. It's fine to praise specific actions, but Gruber's known for praising Apple so much that his Apple critiques tend to make news for how rare they are.
