For a person of such eloquence, it seems strange that your reading
comprehension would fail you so terribly or that you would suddenly try
your hardest to be the opposite of pedantic.

Jörn's post was an openly emotional reaction to a situation that came
about because of a specific set of features that you get with an Apple
laptop, if you want them, or not. It's a fact that there is a specific
risk because of those features. So if you are that hell-bent on boiling
it down, the statement would be: "There is a specific problem with every
(since a certain generation) Apple laptop".

Anyway, ignoring the mood set with hyperbole like "... for I have
sinned", going all pseudo-analytical instead, is rather tone-deaf.

I for one, consider the case interesting and the way it was brought
forward entertaining. My thanks to Jörn, who doesn't deserve such
persnicketiness!
