You're misunderstanding me. It's not an argument. I have no strong opinions about it.

I am telling you how people perceive it. You can (and should!) use that information however you like, but don't mistake this as some sort of opinion thing.

I've observed the world. I believe it operates like this. Feel free to discard if you have data that suggests it operates otherwise.

Don't mistake my delivery of that for personal outrage about you or that unicode character.

I just get very annoyed when I see systems not working optimally with failure modes that to me seem.. dumb.

If you allow me to quote the LLM:

Thanks, gemini.
