I would say it's more like "this is the best we have, not necessarily good", hence the reference to idealism and justice, much like the sentiment in Churchill's famous quote, "democracy is the worst form of Governme

Does it still do the "you can't install via sudo, that's a security risk" while not allowing a non-admin install? I laugh and I cry. Why does anyone trust that project to understand security?

I can't believe that anyone in the world has had Airdrop work for them perfectly, every time, every day. It has a less than 50% success rate with me, and that makes it sound better than it is.

"Arguing in bad faith" - what would that actually mean? Would it be the same as using a sock puppet to push an agenda? That wasn't me, that's what I'm pointing out and you're dismissing for no good reason . Re

You’re taking those questions too literally. The need for dispute resolution implies a dispute, well done… if you’re in to one-step thinking. Explain how there was a dispute over the facts there and how it wasn’t intentional misinformation

My go-to example is the "Constitution" of Medina[1] > It is widely considered to be one of the first written constitutions of mankind. Now go to the page on constitutions in history[2] and see how far down the list that one is.
