Curious to see you speak of your white flags... when you know you are in over
your head.

This is more proof of what I have been noting:
-----
He is trying to push what may very well be be real --
that there is a specific tradeoff with a downside that
bothers him -- and use it to suggest something: that Macs
do not last as long. I have shown where the opposite is
true.
When asked about this he stopped responding... he knows
this is his game. He knows he has no real broad point.
He is just playing games.

Not hard to see this game playing out for anyone who is looking.
