   Sure there was.   
      
   It was a specific claim from someone who both claimed that ARM was   
   "second-best"...   
      
   ...and that the best counter-examples he could provide (I infer; do you   
   even know the difference between "infer" and "imply". I very much doubt   
   it.) MIGHT surpass ARM someday.

   You inferred anger there?   
      
   The implication was clearly amusement!
