bro you responding to Matthew Garret. I don't want to defend either of you two but you set the bar pretty low.

Apparently that's someone mildly important, for anyone else who's never heard of him https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Garrett

I always recognise him but all I know him for is for being someone who techrights (Roy Schestowitz) is/was irrationally mad at. Good to see he won his harassment lawsuit.

If an authority on a topic says something and someone with no demonstrated experience on that topic disagrees with them without providing any evidence, that's not really an argument to authority kind of situation.
