A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I think you are absolutely correct on every count and the point that I was trying to make here is that the same types of arguments are being made by the different people that there is nothing wrong with their product. It's a problem that is being created by the user of the product, etc., etc. You can also see this with the petrochemical companies shifting the blame on the user and the plastics companies. Again, shifting the blame on the user instead of taking the blame in the production level where it should be.
The strategy is called delay, deny, defend period if it sounds familiar, it should.
