Translation: "I have absolutely no technical defense for getting caught
completely clueless about my own Mac's file system, so I'll try a weak
deflection instead."

Notice how you completely failed to address the actual point, Brock? You
admitted you didn't know those files were lingering in your Library. You
admitted you didn't look. And in your other concurrent post, you
explicitly argued that apps leaving background junk behind should have 
uninstallers.

The prose isn't having a stroke—it's just exposing your massive logical
hypocrisy, and it clearly hit a nerve.

To borrow a phrase from your own signature: You cannot use reason to
show the message to be wrong, so you try to feel somehow superior by
attacking the messenger.

Care to try again and actually talk about the macOS file system this
time, or are you completely out of your depth?
