Saying 'A1' is not a gaffe - that's the mistake of someone who literally has no idea what they're talking about.

- cj 2y agoI could see someone making that mistake if they misread off of a notecard or teleprompter. I have some sympathy though. I habitually mix up "SEO" and "CEO" (and I do one of those things as a full time job). I don't have dyslexia - it's only those 2 acronyms I constantly mix up, but only when talking out loud or thinking in my head, never when writing.

- brandall10 2y agoThere's a wide berth between ignorance of how a thing works at a deeper level and true useful/societal applications, and simply being ignorant of its what it is entirely. It's like hating social media in 2003 because MySpace was being used by pedophiles to target minors vs not understanding WTF it is entirely. The former is reductionist, but it was something that indicated one is aware of its presence, what it looks like, how it functions at a basic level, etc, that could be used to springboard further discussions. The fact that someone who is in charge of public policy is so wildly ignorant of something they allege they'll implement, in a public speech, is shocking, and should draw no parallels to even the most basic get rich quick tech bros.
