I didn’t claim that eclecticlight writes cheap dunk.

But this article, which starts with

doesn’t actually _try_ to answer the question. It just stops at SSV and draws a meaningless comparision with macOS 9. It also has several factual inaccuracies in there. Notably, the claim that macOS is not UNIX, and the implication that Unix systems must somehow be free and open-source (virtually all Unixes of the day were proprietary & closed source).

Thanks - then we agree (also on the part of the argumentation about macOS being a certified UNIX OS)
