A bug report is not evidence that (a) it's a bug, nor (b) that the bug is in OS X, nor (c) that Apple considers it working as designed. > It's far too much like work or I would do it, so I'll leave it to > someone with more time, energy and determination to prove him a liar. You have made an unfortunately common fallacy. The burden of proof is on the person making the assertion. He made the assertion - not me. Therefore it is *his* job to provide evidence backing his assertion. My only responsibility in this matter is to ask for evidence proving his assertion. > It is of course always possible that nospam's description of the > "bug" was badly misinterpreted by Apple and what they *thought* he was > saying sounded to them like how the OS is supposed to work.

Yep. And without any evidence, we will assume he is neither right or wrong, and simply talking out of his ass. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.
