You disagree about a lot of things even when the evidence isn't subjective or open to interpretation in the least. Fascinating. As previously stated, it's not merely an opinion that W7 is the best, but an objective argument supported by reasoning and evidence, also both objective. But by all means, let's keep discussing this despite your proclamations to want to be done.

Others have disagreed with you too.

  Sure, just not in a way that supports your claims. More people disagreed with your initial first comment to my point than with my ranking, which is pretty much considered the industry consensus as evidenced by search results.

    I disagree. Others have also disagreed with you. There were also those that did agree too. We had a situation where everyone shared different opinions. One might describe the conversation as "subjective". ;-)

      > I disagree. Others have also disagreed with you.

Again, it's industry consensus that W7 is the best version of Windows. That, at least, is indisputably objective.

        When you and only you get to choose which opinions are "objective" then the outcome is still subjective

        The parts of the industry that agrees with your opinion, you mean? Rather than the parts of the industry that disagreed. Such as the metrics offered by several other people on HN. Those people who also happen to be part of the industry too. edit: I noticed that you're not replying to my other question. Can i take it from that, that you're more interested in trolling than genuine discourse?

        > The parts of the industry that agrees with your opinion, you mean? I am referring to an industry consensus, not simply a random subset of industry professionals. You are free to dismiss that as irrelevant as you dismiss other evidence if you like. > I noticed that you're not replying to my other question. Can i take it from that, that you're more interested in trolling than genuine discourse? Given your behavior if you had the ability to be notified by replies I think it would be worse for discourse on HN, as you would get in more discussions like the one you are going out of your way to prolong here. I simply don't want to be the one to enable that. I was honestly thankful you asked a question I felt I could ignore so that particular discussion could end.

        > I am referring to an industry consensus, not simply a random subset of industry professionals. You are free to dismiss that as irrelevant as you dismiss other evidence if you like. You do know that "consensus" means: > An opinion or position reached by a group as a whole. Ergo there is no consensus reached and thus your opinion is subjective. > Given your behavior if you had the ability to be notified by replies I think it would be worse for discourse on HN, as you would get in more discussions like the one you are going out of your way to prolong here. I simply don't want to be the one to enable that. Ouch. More insults and personal attacks. You do also realise you're the one who said you'd keep replying until I stop? Shouldn't your comment apply to yourself too? (those are rhetorical questions by the way) > I was honestly thankful you asked a question I could just leave hanging so that particular discussion could finally end. So you're just interested in trolling then. Got it.
