You actually did claim there were two options in the comment I replied to by saying: > You really dislike a feature that plays a loud sound instead of shorting pins in you USB-C connector together? The instead here splits the sentence into those two options. Either a sound is played loudly or pins are shorted. That's how the sentence you wrote is structured, anyway. Clearly that's not how you considered the situation, but yes, you did claim there were two options.
