> No, a related disadvantage doesn't nullify the fact of an advantage.

Sure it does in some cases. Having a lot of gold is an advantage. Having to keep from being stolen is a disadvantage. That disadvantage does not nullify the advantage of having it. But if no one wants gold anymore, then that nullify the advantage of possessing it.

>Doesn't change the fact that this is an advantage.

Maybe, but I think it is an advantage very few real world car users care..

Cool. I hope you don't mind my reply though.
