You're doing that thing where you challenge the character and motives of people who disagree with you. It's irritating.

  First, I apologize if I am irritating in any way. I don't intend to be, but I am told that sometimes I tend to focus too much on factual stuff and too little on how other people react to what I am saying. So, sorry about that if it is the case here. As to this specific thing - I did not intend to challenge character or motive. My point was that by saying "Rather than complain, we give Google credit for the 99% of Chrome's code that is open source", it is clear that Google is being given a pass on mistakes because of the other good things it does. There is a false choice implied in that quote - as if we must either like Google and praise it, or dislike Google and berate it. Instead, we should either praise or berate Google depending on what it actually does. And right here, it did do something wrong. I hope that clarifies what I was trying to say before.

    This seems to be a difference of opinion, not a mistake.
