> a claim which is still in the article linked here. I am now supposed to argue against some revised article published elsewhere?

The article linked in this thread is a syndicated copy of an original article published elsewhere, as clearly stated by the attribution section at the bottom. It's reasonable to expect that changes to the original will only be updated in the copy with a delay.

This is nowhere near reasonable. You said that "the article made the claim that 70% of space is wasted dark bytes" was "incorrect" with no further details. Only when pressed and provided the quote where you literally said exactly that did you start talking about some retraction.

But whatever, this is pointless. Russ was right and it's hard to take any of this in good faith. It feels like you're going to great lengths to avoid saying "oops, I was wrong".

I wrote this because there was no mention of "waste" anywhere in OP.
