> It's just a useful example of something that plays well in the HN comments section but not in the real world I take it you're referring to the earlier, short one, of "We don't store your data, period." If that's the case, I think you're saying the same thing I did in a slightly different way and emphasizing different points? I agree, there's a prevalence of people that see simple and direct and make the mistake of equating simple with useful. Something being simple can be good, but not at the expense of greatly increasing the ambiguity of what it applies to.
