Seriously. How do you write an entire post and not pin down one single person, place, thing, opinion, etc?
The only conclusion I can draw, as to why an author would choose to write only in generalities, is that any concrete facts or statements would be weaker under scrutiny, or less well received, than the uneasy benefit of the doubt that we extend someone making vague, unfalsifiable claims.
- nebulous1 3y agoI think this is written for the people in the Nix community. It's not intending to be an explainer for people outside it.
- ang_cire 3y agoThat doesn't really change anything, unless they're intentionally trying to be obfuscatory to people outside the community. I don't want news I read about groups I'm a part of to be vague to the point of confusion either.
- nebulous1 3y agoSure, but is that not on whoever posted it here? I mean, the original author is clearly entitled to make a post for the Nix community, right? It's not like every communication on the matter has to contain a history of events. I should be clear: my original thoughts when reading it were exactly the same as yours.
