Hardly a shallow dismissal dang, as the replies show. It’s a very valid critique of where it has ended up, and goes right to the heart of the underlying problem.

The challenge is if it’s intentional from the start, or merely ended up being intentional at the end eh?

And the folks arguing that the underlying critique are false, as shown in the follow-ups, are wrong.

If anything, it’s just getting downvotes because people don’t realize how on the nose it actually is, near as I can tell.
