*I'm shocked*!

It is absolutely fascinating to watch you hand-wave away a complete lack
of basic macOS file-system awareness as "not surprising or concerning."

For someone who frequently pontificates on these groups about how things
"should" work on the Mac platform, admitting that you blindly run
software without having the foggiest notion of what it leaves behind in
your ~/Library/Application Support/ or ~/Library/Caches/ directories is
quite the self-own.

If you "did not know they were there" until it was pointed out to you,
it proves you weren't looking, didn't know where to look, and lacked the
curiosity to check.

For an ordinary end-user? Perfectly fine. For someone masquerading as a
technical authority on a computer workshop group? It’s a bit of an
embarrassment, Brock.
