If you want to over-analyze people's reactions, sure I'll help:
They're pigeon-holing because it can't be both. This isn't a situation where there's real overlap.
Ambiguity is a lot more fun when there is substantial overlap, and on top of that ambiguity for the question of "is this useful" is bad ambiguity much more often than it's fun ambiguity.
- qarl2 2mo ago> it can't be both Really? Do you have a proof of that? Looking outside the realm of computer software, are you familiar with the concept of satire? "A Modest Proposal" is both funny and deadly serious at the same time. And it's been studied for hundreds of years. So I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
- Dylan16807 2mo agoA modest proposal isn't serious about what it suggests. It's not a real way to solve either problem it talks about. If that's the best comparison, then this is straightforwardly not a productivity tool.
- qarl2 2mo agoI'm sorry I was not able to explain to you how things can be two things at the same time.
- Dylan16807 2mo agoSome ideas can overlap, some ideas can't. By ignoring the specifics of this situation, you confuse yourself into being wrong.
- qarl2 2mo agoSigh. "I'm right, you're wrong" doesn't make a very good proof. EDIT: I'm going to bed. You may have the last word.
- xp84 2mo agoI really don’t get what you’re going on about. If it’s actual satire, then it is not real. If it isn’t real then it’s not a tool I can use for my job which is what it says it is. I still don’t freaking know if this thing is a joke or not.
- qarl2 2mo agoSatire is merely an analogy. I think maybe you're having trouble with metaphor and ambiguity.
