It’s not absurdity, it’s analogy. If you can’t distinguish between the two then HN may indeed not be for you.
- wat10000 8mo agoIt's an absurd analogy. It doesn't make the slightest bit of sense. You wouldn't call a cancer treatment that fails to cure a minority of people "fine", so EVs aren't "fine"?
- throwaway894345 8mo agolol that was the entire point of the analogy. congratulations, you seem to have accidentally stumbled onto the point, but at least you got there. :)
- wat10000 8mo agoThe point of the analogy was that these things are in no way comparable, and EVs only serving a large chunk of the population is in fact fine?
