> one small detail

the presence of hypermedia controls is a defining characteristic of a hypermedia format

> I literally quoted your own words at you.

You took an essay I wrote in which I defined the term HDA specifically to contrast with the term SPA in the context of web development and spun that into an imagined philosophy where HTML is the only hypermedia in the world. You persisted in this after I pointed out that I included HXML in my book on hypermedia, and gave a clear definition of what I consider the defining characteristics of hypermedia & clarified specific examples of other formats that are hypermedia.

You have confused "X is A" with "Only X is A" and then, when large gaps in your understanding of hypermedia have been brought to your attention, you have dismissed them as small details.

> I will not apologize

I did not expect you to.

At this point I think I have taken goodwill as far as it can go. I encourage any other readers who have made it to this point in this hellthread to simply read my essays & perhaps my book, and judge them on their own merits:
