  > Your comment only makes sense if you think that the purpose of the demo

Don't contort my words to justify your lying.

The purpose of a demo is to demonstrate things.

The purpose of a live demo is to demonstrate how things will work in the user's actual experience.

You can have pre-recorded demos and there's nothing wrong with that. The only issue is calling a pre-recorded demo "live". That's when you cross the line into deception.

Or as I said before

  >>> Seriously... just call it a demo or pre-recorded. As soon as you call it "live" you've crossed into the territory of fraud.

You don't have to make believe I don't understand what a demonstration is to get there.

  > Their purpose is to entertain, not to document.
 

And now I believe it is YOU who do not understand what a demo is. A demonstration is not entertainment nor documentation, although it can incorporate these elements. A demo is an illustrative example. Do we need to go to Merriam Webster here?

Oh if we're going to be pedantic, I can be pedantic. A "demo" is showing something, and "live" is showing it while both the demonstrator and the audience is in a room together. Therefore, this is a live demo, QED.

We aren't being pedantic here.

  > "live" is showing it while both the demonstrator and the audience is in a room together.

Right, because watching a video of me doing a magic trick is the same thing as me performing it for you. You're incredulous
