    and its code is… well, it’s not bad, so let’s quantify it as good, or good enough

    If “good enough” isn’t actually good enough, why are you calling it that? Your entire argument hinges on high code quality not being high code quality. Like… yeah, of course bad code is going to lead to bad outcomes. That’s literally the entire point he’s trying to make: the tool doesn’t matter, the result does.

      No part of my argument hinges on ZFS code being good quality. My argument is that ZFS code is desirable.

      the tool doesn’t matter, the result does.

      The argument “the method doesn’t matter, only results” has been the source of so many ethics and academic violations. You saying that with a straight face says enough about you. Bye.
