Put it this way: claim a use-case you believe the unicode view does better on than an array of bytes. Since you're making the positive claim, this should be easy.
I guarantee you there will be a quick counterexample to demonstrate that the claimed use-case is incorrect. There always is.
You may review the gish gallop in the other branch of this thread for inspiration.
- mannykannot 6y agoNow you are attempting a full-on burden-shifting approach, but the unsupported claims here are that a unicode view is "fundamentally wrong" and that the proper approach is to operate on raw bytes. You can start on correcting this omission by answering the questions I posed about your claims a couple of posts ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25895523 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25895523

- mannykannot 6y agoIt is highly apposite that you should mention a Gish gallop in your earlier post: Duane Gish's combination of rhetorical ploys intended to persuade uninformed people that evolution hasn't happened. It includes a combination of burden-shifting, not answering awkward questions, introducing non-sequiturs, and attempting to change the subject, all of which you have already been employing, and which you are now intimating that you intend to continue with. A Gish gallop is not, of course, a sound way to arrive at any sort of truth. Anyone employing the technique is either unaware of that, or is being duplicitous (my guess is that Gish never really understood that it is bogus.) Meanwhile, those questions are still waiting to be milked, so to speak... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25895523 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25895523
