Once again, another misstatement. There was no mention a of needing validation. Merely presumable through tangible results. In fact my word exactly was intangible. Even imaginary (attitude, a feeling, by your own words) and therefore arguable. In fact, I'd go so far as to say an undeclared intention only exists in contemplation. Completely reasonable to speculate or even propose the intentions of others when they themselves have not declared it.

The true state of something may not be known or understood, so it is surmised through reasoning or analysis. Whether it is absolute is in the conviction of the believer of the conclusion, or plausibility of the conclusion. But yes, making deductions based on past behavior is a very reasonable element of analysis and conclusion. In this case its quite simple, a long term demonstration of capability therefore I can come to the reasonable conclusion that was their intent all along. Until proven otherwise, my conclusion is indisputable.

No, actions are not intentions and deductions about intentions cannot be gleaned from actions. You need to read the basic social psychological literature before you start spewing hogwash that was refuted decades ago. Start with Asch and then on to Converse, Achen and Bishop.

You stated neither of the above in your original post. Simply parroting a irrelevant point to the original argument. Just as you injected the irrelevant point of Bluetooth into the discussion.

Of course my original post had no argument; my original post was a question. My comment that many bluetooth speakers also have Airplay capability was 6 posts down, and was part of an overall statement that AirPlay capability in the Express is the ability to stream music from iTunes to speakers, not just audio jack. The false assumption that what I meant was that Bluetooth capability = Airplay was injected into the discussion by you.

As a bystander, it is pretty obvious that the "false assumption" as you call it was caused by the way the "6 posts down" post was phrased:

Many Bluetooth speakers are sold as AirPlay speakers.

The logical way to interpret the statement is that you can slap Bluetooth on a speaker and call it AirPlay. While that is not what you claim you had in mind, it is what the post says, so it is a fair assumption to make.

You offer nothing of substance, you misdirect with claims that were never made. You throw some names around from a Wikipedia article pulled up from a quick Google search as if it makes up for your total lack of substantive contribution. You parrot the same tired non sequiturs rather than address the literal points of discussion.

Well, your words will stand forever recorded in the ledgers for all of MacRumors time. Don't know what you think it gets you trying to deny what you wrote, that anyone can see by simply paging to post #1 of this thread.

And trying to backtrack on your statement regarding Bluetooth simply puts you in the place of not having ANY logical reason whatsoever for mentioning Bluetooth. The only rational conclusion by reading through that thread was that you were trying to point out that Airplay is also available over other link-level connections other than audio jack. Which it is not.

You injected the point about Bluetooth, if you understood Airplay has nothing to do with BT (as you NOW claim) then you are well aware that injection had no logical place in the discussion at that point.

"Why don't the new Time Capsules/Airport Extremes have Airplay
This is getting quite ridiculous.
Why hasn't Apple updated the new Time Capsules and Airport Extreme with Airplay? I was really hoping for this feature. Aarrgh.

Hardly the root of an objective scientific inquiry, clearly the attempt to start an argument.

Which Wikipedia article is that? You mean the names on my social psych syllabus?

Yes, people can come to their own conclusions about what I meant. / thread

I didn't start this thread as a scientific inquiry or an argument.

HAHAH, yes, that's an even better one. The names you pulled from your class syllabus. :D:D:D:D

Yes, how inconvenient when other interpret your written words literally :(

I didn't start this thread as a scientific inquiry or an argument.

Of course, that was your INTENT all along. -- Hah! See what I did there? Full circle...BAZINGA!

Yes, any basic social psych syllabus has those names, including the syllabus I give my undergrad students.

No, it's not inconvenient for me, actually; it really doesn't affect me in any way. It's rather interesting to see how people interpret what I write/say. I will give clarifications when there is a misinterpretation, as was clearly the case here.

Odd how you think that there is a got you moment here. I'm simply stating that I didn't start this thread as an scientific inquiry or as an argument. I didn't say anything about my intent in starting this thread.

Right. From the Wikipedia results of your Google search. We covered that already.

Yeah, can imagine the challenge it presents your *undergrad students* trying deal with your frequent clarifications. Keeps 'em on their toes chasing that moving target.

Yes, I know you did not state your intent, didn't need to. It was easily ascribable by the literal interprtations of your posts.

To maintain AirPlay when you get a new Airport/TC with 5G 802.11AC, you still need to maintain your old AE in order for this to still work.
