He’s stating that everything is a fungible commodity in his view and then gripes about the costs being different. Everything is not an interchangeable commodity and to view it that way creates a toxic race to the bottom. The part that kills me is this is posted on a site called “machine learning everything” and yet the post shows a lack of basic understanding of basic data stuff, and zero desire or motivation to look into the actual data. Vastly different things are grouped and it goes well beyond just ignoring signs that they are actually different. In fact, in the face of such indicators he decides the best course is to actively refute them without looking into it to understand what’s going on. And being a longtime producer of something absolutely does not have bearing on quality. There is a common brand arc where in the latter stages they cut costs and quality to capitalize on built up reputation. Anyway I’d be curious on his opinion of cheap 40oz bottles of malt liquor vs normal beer.
