This isn't about my preferences. The whole point is that only an arrogant asshole would claim their preferences are the only rational ones.

As another example within GPS, Waze used to give truly horrendous routes, as it would often fail to understand the difference between overpasses and intersections. A bunch of early adopters liked the promise of Waze and helped crowd-source the fixes, so that now Waze is a very good navigator.

By the OP's logic, the early adopters who helped make Waze great were irrational, because it truly was worse for quite a long time.

That said, I get it, you're just here to snark at strangers. After all, if you'd had even a hint of an interest in a real conversation you would've realized I never stated that any set of attributes was better than any other, nor that my interpretation of attribute definitions was the only valid one.

Anyway, thanks for the snarky bullshit and have a nice day.
