@alan @nuthatch @danluu I’m supposed to explain how car electronics works to some arrogant fool who thinks he knows everything already? Worst. Pupil. Ever.

@kentindell @nuthatch @danluu No, you're supposed to offer a vaguely cogent argument as to why a car manufacturer can't implement a robust update system while a vehicle isn't engaging in real time mechatronic functions (other than someone assessed that the probability of an update failing and the resulting compensation/PR grief was less than the cost of adding a second boot PROM to the board).

Or in basic terms, you made a point; offer some minimal modicum of proof.

@kentindell @nuthatch @danluu The Ad Hominem attack having failed spectacularly, the Very Important Automotive Electronics Engineer, PhD. slinks back into obscurity, confident in both his intellectual superiority and that mere mortals could never understand nor grasp the intrinsic elegance of his brilliant explanations should he descend to offer them.

Third party interpretations vary.
