The Vision Pro straps completely around the head and weighs more than many bicycle helmets. Where's the exaggeration?

The comment you were replying to said "without the content _to make it shine_". The implication here is that being able to do the things you can already do, except with a large set of goggles on your head, is not a sufficient selling point for the product. Apple clearly wants to sell the Vision Pro as a new way of computing, not as an entertainment product. Microsoft felt the same way about Windows 95, I'm sure, but that didn't stop them from including content meant to convince people that their new expensive "multimedia PC" was worth the investment.

It's just clear you're not interested in AR/VR so your criticism of AVP carries less weight. Nothing would satisfy you. If you actually held an examined one of those you would know how incredibly tiny it is.

You're making several unfounded and false assumptions here. There is also no world in which I would accept the proposition that a pair of goggles that covers half the face and juts out past the tip of the nose is "incredibly tiny".
