They didn't get "caught." It was published, by them, when they released Fable a few days ago. They were very clear about it. It wasn't the correct way of handling the problem they were trying to address, but they definitely didn't hide it by any reasonable definition.

No, it was not clear. No one expects that a tool they pay for and use professionally to purposefully sabotage their work. You’re excusing their unhinged behavior. https://xcancel.com/hammer_mt/status/2064839924398825798 https://xcancel.com/hammer_mt/status/2064839924398825798

      It's a very generalized observation. I sometimes think of the HN comment section as the Billionaire's Defense League.

    Only second to making intellectually dishonest criticisms of perceived behaviours

  Excusing? Their comment is factually correct and the parent is factually wrong.
