I was being pedantic. If you'd note elsewhere I explain to others the asymmetric nature of consumer ISPs, so I'm not obtuse to the issue. I just believe that saying untrue things is unhelpful to the problem. I want to be called out when I'm wrong; I hope others do to. I don't believe I was mean while doing so.
Also, nothing I said despite it being asymmetric, just that his point about pushing and pulling isn't the best way of describing the issue.
- wpietri 12y agoWe're trying to have a conversation. If you are pedantic in ways that distract rather than help, you'll get downvoted. His point about pushing vs pulling is a perfectly fine way of describing the issue. It's limited, but all explanations are.
- jimktrains2 12y agoI don't believe it distracts from the conversation. You cannot backup your premise with something that isn't true.
- wpietri 12y agoYou don't believe it distracts. I and others do. Insisting without discussion that your personal standards win without question is a dick move.
