You are wrong.

1 comments

16 people say I'm right, one person say I'm wrong. I'm not doubting you, but I'd love it if you could show how I'm wrong? Maybe I misremember how to use <embed>.
Just try it. Here’s a sample URL:

  data:text/html,<embed src=https://example.com>
(Mind you, this shows that it works now, without commenting on whether it worked then, which I know not.)

Where? To be clear, it doesn't matter—being wrong is wrong. Those other people, even if they exist, are wrong, too.

(I can half-understand not checking before you posted the original comment. But why wouldn't you, in response to someone letting you know that you are wrong—which was itself in response to you asking, by the way—take half as much time to just check as the amount of time it took to type out such an bewilderingly obnoxious followup?)
