No one said anything about autocompletion either, yet here we are. I'm a bit done here since you are one of these people who refuse to use analogies to inform their thinking. Suffice it to say, many billions of people over the years have found analogies to be a useful endeavor, and nothing about this particular situation is any different. If you really need it spelled out to you, Douglas Hofstadter has a good talk about analogy as a basis of cognition on YouTube.

We were talking about filters, and this is directly related to the filter functionality that you're so intent on defending. > I'm a bit done here since you are one of these people who refuse to use analogies to inform their thinking. I don't refuse to use analogies. However, I refuse to use false analogies, and I also refuse to use only analogies to inform my thinking. I prefer facts over analogies. > many billions of people over the years have found analogies to be a useful endeavor And once again you're veering into some completely unrelated tangent that no one is talking about. > Douglas Hofstadter has a good talk about analogy If only you had the will and comprehension to keep with the topic at hand without resorting to inventing arguments for other people, overusing false and inapplicable analogies etc.
