Agree. The author is jumping to conclusions her. Remind me of this great quote:
"Never ascribe to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence" - Napoleon Bonaparte
- mathattack 13y agoBeat me to the quote. But this is even worse for FC - they are pissing off a customer for $7 by accident, not on purpose.
- UVB-76 13y agoNope. They make $$$$ by having the option checked by default, and every now and then a customer fails to check their order before submitting it.
- frankydp 13y agoProbably not a Bonaparte quote. The below is an interesting history of how that quote got into the hacker consciousness. Mostly from the Jargon file. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon's_razor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon's_razor
- samatman 13y agoI had never read that! Charming. The punchline is, it's actually Heinlein's razor. Which makes perfect sense. (yes the wiki refers to a Robert Hanlon of Scranton, PA. This is probably only amusing if you're from America and know that Scranton is the archetypal funny place to be from)
