This doesn’t seem to make sense as a reply. I explained what it means in the second sentence of the prior comment.

You’ve also yet to explain how your comment 3 days ago relates to the comment before that… so there’s no reason for me to go on an unrelated discussion.

Oh, on re-reading your comment I find that I actually agree with you:

> It doesn’t matter if every expert concurred, arguments from authority can not lead to opinion X becoming superior to opinion Y.

> At least not in a logically valid way.

But that's not what happened. What happened is that Apple dropped their argument Y without much fighting, which they previously upheld in face of government pressure.
