How'd that sentence make it into the first edition? And who wrote it?
- DiggyJohnson 5y agoDavid Graeber wrote it, and the first question is answered in the comment you're replying to? Are you making a larger point?
- meepmorp 5y ago> Are you making a larger point? Not OP, but I think the idea is one should be skeptical of other things the guy has to say, considering that the aforementioned sentence about Apple isn't just wrong, it's wrong in a way that shows no familiarity with the subject. at all. Or, more bluntly, the guy sounds like he's full of shit.
- dang 5y agoIf everyone is to be judged by the worst sentence they've written then literally everyone ends up in the junk pile. This is not a substantive argument, and it's completely off topic.

I have no doubt written things that are wrong, including things that are very wrong. But I very much doubt that I have ever packed that amount of wrongness into one sentence.
