   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.   
      
   --   
   It's impossible for someone who is at war with themselves to be at peace with   
   you.
