    I mean, I do appreciate his argument, as it has been a very common trend for tech firms to say one thing while doing the exact opposite.

      If he had said, “I don’t believe you. I think you’re denying it publicly, but in secret you have probably already directed your engineers to lay out the groundwork,” that would be fine.

      He would be accusing her of lying, rather than assuming she was an ignorant female nobody whose knowledge could not compare with his insight of, “but other companies did it.”

        The guy’s an idiot, no doubt. But he does have a point.

        People on social media come from all walks of life, and have many different voices, some of them retarded. If you don’t want to engage with people like him, that’s entirely understandable, and probably encouraged. If you DO want to engage with them, however, you should try and actually understand the message, instead of sneering like a fool because they didn’t phrase it in a way that is pleasing to whatever social sensibilities your clique favours.
