>exact arbitrary silliness we have seen countless times before You continue to make the same mistake: contrast this 70 to how many breaches were prevented by the feature. People with anti-virus software get viruses, both before and after getting updates. Is it therefore silliness to use anti-virus software? Or is there huge benefit to running it. Cars with locks get robbed. Is is silliness therefore to have car locks? Or is there still large benefit to having locks? Many people died after getting the COVID vaccine. Does that mean the vaccine had no benefit? You repeat this exact error over and over, even after having it pointed out. Why? "Enhance you calm" indeed. Whatever that means.

“contrast this 70 to how many breaches were prevented by the feature.” You mean... just like how elephants may be scared by computer mice, and that's why most offices are not infested by pachyderms.

A vaccine dose only protects against known variants, but often reduces the chances of dying due to how the virus variants severity has attenuated thus far.
