You are 100% right, a rope likely isn't going to tell you anything. There's one of those differences I mentioned which makes comparisons useful. We could probably name a few differences!
So, what makes you think comparing the 2 tools is invalid? You just compared them yourself, and I don't think you were being disingenuous.
Just because I used italics to emphasize something one time doesn’t mean you get to talk to me like that. I am not a child and you’re being unnecessarily patronizing.
I let it slide in the previous comment and gave you the benefit of the doubt despite what I saw but this comment clearly illustrates how disrespectful you’re being.
I think you, as you put it, rudely, patronizingly, disrespectfully responded to the wrong post: mine was a polite one about a comparison between 2 tools and your statement that the comparing posters must be acting in bad faith (whereas you, with your differing opinion, are acting in good faith).
I'm not interested in focusing on tone-policing, since it is one of the lowest forms of debate and usually avoids the substance of the matter. So, I'm happy to return to our discussion about the 2 tools anytime you want to review my previous post and respond to the substance of it. If you're not into that, have a nice day comfortable in the knowledge that I've already turned the other cheek.
