Actually, the only thing that seems clear is that I admitted (not even grudgingly) the possibility that my opinion might be wrong when you asked me to... and that you promptly ignored my request to reciprocate the possibility RE your opinion. Just sayin'.

The implication is that Apple could put crap out there and rely on "marketing, Joneses, and the herd" to carry them.

I never "imply," so if it's not in my words, please don't try to attribute it to me. I never thought or suggested anything like the above statement. In fact, I think I was pretty clear that I'm not even being derogatory toward Apple at all. Of course they make a great product. How many times do I have to say it? I'm only challenging your assumption that hundreds of millions of units sold somehow equals the most intuitive and (non-techie) user-friendly interface going. A gadget's success/failure is not that simple and you know it.
