Justifying something "because someone else does it like that" is akin to childhood playground antics. "But miss, I only kicked him because he kicked me first!"

As my mum always says: two wrongs don't make a right.
- invisible 18y agoI wasn't saying it was justified because google does it too, I was saying it doesn't dictate quality. Many think google has a lot of quality (which is probably most important), and the same for HN. Making silly analogies to justify standards compliance is just plain dumb if you want to play the name game.
- Jem 18y agoSorry, I must have missed the part where I was making any justification for standards compliance.
