When they post full csv files with all kinds of command line arguments including typos, who's to know your "dotnet run fix-aspycts-bankrupcy-account" command, where you forgot the first "run" argument, won't end up in a csv some day?

Except that they don't seem to be recording the arguments to `dotnet run`: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/telemetry...
So you typo and forget the "run" part. Now what?

I can't believe I have to argue about how bad it is to have CLI tools send their arguments as telemetry. Even half-arsed lately introduced attempts at redaction doesn't change the fact that the entire mindset of the developers are poison.

If you'd taken the time to read the documents you linked to, you would realise that they do _not_ record arbitrary strings.

I can't believe people don't even read the "proof" they provide themselves.

Obviously they record arbitrary strings. One of the mains points they made was to make fun of the typo "bulid".
