I don't think I understand what this means in context of my comment. Are you referring to the parent of my comment?
Someone wrote an article about an interesting thing they discovered about a well-known spec and OP's response is "Are people not even reading about what they are using?" Did the author of the article do something wrong?
- yjftsjthsd-h 5y agoNo, it's to your comment. One obvious reading of "did you read every relevant spec completely" is that if you didn't read every relevant spec 100% cover to cover then it's your fault that your software had a problem with that spec, and a reasonable person could view that as infeasible (those things get really long). Hence, it's easy to see your comment as victim blaming. (I'm not saying that I do or don't agree with that view, just trying to make sure everyone understands each other.)
