1. No, that is NOT what you said at any time. Let me elucidate (and I'll 
wait a few minutes while you look that up):

You're now claiming that when you wrote, "And yet, if I had first 
examined the article correctly, it would mean that Apple was showing 
progress".

What you (apparently) meant to have said was:

"And yet, if the article had said what I thought it did, it would mean 
that Apple was showing progress".

So...

2. If changing the UI is proof that the previous UI "sucks balls", then 
you should examine the fact that Android has switched its default UI for 
app switching to APPLE's UI for doing so: with gestures.

Are you still high?

Because words have MEANINGS, and "malformed" doesn't match that.
