I am reminded of all the sales people I have dealt with in my life; when asked:

"Does your product do X?"

they respond

"X is not necessary"

when informed that they were not aksed what is necessary or unnecessary, they were asked "Does your product do X?" they repeat:


"X is not necessary"

at which point they are explained the difference between answering a question which, based on its phrasing, requires a "yes", "no", or "I don't know" answer and stating their opinion about what is "necessary" or "unnecessary."

Internet analysis: 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact

Fools & fanatics are always so certain and wise people are always so questioning
