Unfortunately, I think it's a little more 21st Century Pearl Harbor, and less or at all benevolent.

Frankly, your thoughts don't matter because you don't have the expertise to judge.

Oh, so you do have the expertise to judge, but that other poster doesn't. Gotcha.

Can you please point me to the thread where you justify this (otherwise unbearably arrogant) response with your credentials?

(Seriously, how did this comment not get yanked as an obvious ad hom troll?)

I'm a former SWO qualified Naval officer, as stated elsewhere I believe. I vouched your comment just to reply, because it's important to be correct. I'm not going into details about anything else, I've gone into detail elsewhere about this topic already.

You come here to comment rudely, well outside your supposed SWO naval officer context, but without demonstrating evidence of any qualification in a relevant and visible context, and others are the idiots for doubting such absurdly terse replies on a technology site where explanation and questions are par for the course among many types of technical experts? Is being a socially clueless asshole part of your qualification requisites as well?

Frankly, a terse comment. So tell me what am I missing?
