I wasn't trying to be. I was mildly annoyed that this person was being needlessly pendantic about an irrelevant point that doesn't matter in any way whatsoever in the real world. They failed to give an example that matters.

While you can easily add the adapter, you are using the lens in a way it is not designed for. It will work for various definitions of work, and casual users might never even notice the difference. But it will never be equivalent to its nati

The bug is in humans. Heck, I regularly come across people who think the case in an email address matters! While there is no bug in Gmail, that is irrelevant because you have to deal with the reality of how people use your product. Its basi

TBH, that sounds sensible to me. Keep in mind that the words mean nothing without judicial process. In most cases vague language is intentionally introduced to give the judge latitude in handing out judgements. The stricter the language, th
