At this point I can't edit the comment in question, but every assumption in the comment it was a reply to was wrong. Every single one.
Aliases in powershell are not turned off by default. Aliases either exist or they don't. When speaking of aliases alone, bash is no simpler nor more complex than powershell.
By the way, this comment (the one I am writing right now) is ALSO replying to a comment written by someone who appears to be overconfident and under-informed. It's a freaking malady, and people are somehow proud of their incorrect blind guesswork.
Incorrect, blind guesswork gets a pass, because the statements made sound correct to a layman, and sound objections don't get a pass. I understand, now. I wasn't clear on how important facts are in a technical discussion.
I stated no facts in my earlier comment, that's true, but neither did the person I was replying to. I thought my point was clear. It was less clear than the comment based on false assumption, I guess.
I fucking give up. You assholes can have this.
