So, you don't have any, whereas I provided a chart based on dozens of respondents. Got it.
How is it absurd? You think my choice of footwear caused me to drop something on my foot?
Or are you suggesting that correlation does in fact imply causation?
No, the forums here absolutely are evidence, as is my personal user experience.
you said something is absurd. I’m asking you what is absurd? The specific analogy I gave from something that happened today, or the general concept?
“asked and answered” neither a question nor an answer to anything.
Yes, the comparison of dropping something on your foot to Apple’s companywide 18-month shift to WFH, and the possible ramifications thereof, was absurd.
It’s utterly comical for people to argue that Tim Cook either made this decision without analysis or that WFH might have yielded higher productivity but Tim Cook is going to give away those gains just to spite people.
So your personal experience is that Big Sur is far less reliable than Catalina? That iOS 14 is far less reliable than iOS 13? Etc.
That's interesting, because again, that doesn't seem to be most people's experience. Which is not to invalidate your personal experience, if true, but I just don't buy it. I think you're making that up in order to strengthen your "WFH bad" case.
To make sure that I don't misrepresent you, are you saying that the "we" in "we're" of your own comment:
...was meant to represent Tim Cook?
I wasn’t comparing my foot to Apple and it’s workplace policies.
I used my foot and something that happened as an analogy to show how correlation (two related events) don’t necessarily imply that one event caused the other.
Yes, everyone on the internet has read that ”correlation doesn’t imply causation” at least 10,000 times.
Who made this argument? Please provide evidence. Should be easy, with the quote function.
Who made this claim? If it happened, should be here in the thread, so provide a link.
And yet you don’t seem to understand (or refuse to accept) the concept, so I tried to use an analogy to explain it. If you understand but refuse to accept it then it was clearly a waste of time
How are we on page 50+ if people all agree Tim Cook made an educated decision?
I do understand the concept. More importantly, either Tim Cook understands the concept or he made an uneducated decision. Which do you believe to be true?
You can make an informed decision and still make a controversial one. You can make an informed decision and still ultimately be wrong.
WFH is a nuanced debate.
The weird idea that Tim Cook made the decision based on alleged software quality decline is a concept you introduced, so Tim Cook doesn't need to defend it; you do.
Tim Cook is right but it’s controversial, or Tim Cook is wrong? Which is it?
