    Very misleading writing style IMO. I would say most of their bullet points ARE actually true in most cases… they just keep bringing up somewhat rare/exotic exceptions as a way to call it a “falsehood”.

      A claim which is mostly true is false. Programmers should pay attention to details, since that is all computers know.

        Not everything can be easily boxed into Boolean categories so no, a mostly true claim is not simply false. You are erasing the key context and nuance to make this foolish absolute statement.

        Details like the fact that people can have differing opinions and perspectives, and should not speak in absolutes?
