I will always agree with anyone who says something sensible and logical.
No matter who that person is, nor what they may have said in the past.

I take every post on its own merits.

To his credit, Rudy understood what an analogy is and what it does.
Neither Alan nor Carlos understands the concept of an analogy.

   This isn't about whether someone wants to use these features,
   or whether they're important to a specific user. It's about
   the objective fact of what the physical hardware allows the 
   device to do.

   Think of it like a car. A car with a tow hitch has the capability 
   to tow a trailer. A car without one doesn't. Even if someone never
   tows a trailer, the car with the hitch still possesses that extra 
   capability that the other one lacks. It's not about whether they
   use it, but whether the inherent functionality is present.

The very fact that both Carlos & Alan absurdly fought the analogy instead
of understanding the concept, actually indicates a far larger problem.

If people can't even understand the simplest of analogies of why a device
that has basic hardware can do more than a device that lacks basic
hardware, then no amount of discussion will get that concept into them.

They'll just say all facts are opinions when they can't accept facts.
