They didn't get "caught." It was published, by them, when they released Fable a few days ago. They were very clear about it.

It wasn't the correct way of handling the problem they were trying to address, but they definitely didn't hide it by any reasonable definition.

No, it was not clear. No one expects that a tool they pay for and use professionally to purposefully sabotage their work. You’re excusing their unhinged behavior.

Excusing? Their comment is factually correct and the parent is factually wrong.

Making excuses for billion+ dollar companies' behavior is one of the most common HN comment section pastimes.

[joxdosba]

Only second to making intellectually dishonest criticisms of perceived behaviours

I think your comment refers to @Someone1234.

[ryandrake]

It's a very generalized observation. I sometimes think of the HN comment section as the Billionaire's Defense League.

Hardly unique to us, but mostly fair.

(Only "mostly" because if you're here at the right time of day, can also see support for actual communism).
