> Anyway, I don't know that saying "I'm team Sonos" or "I'm team Google" helps a discussion in the first place. I'd discuss the thing on merits
I agree! For the record, I didn't say either of those things :) Apologies, but I don't see team or identifying with either.
Sorry if I missed it.
> Sonos' patent claims as having been universally defended by people, that may have been seen from behind a certain filter or bubble
I'm guessing it was "universally" that inspired you: apologies, I definitely did not mean everyone, not even everyone on the internet, not even everyone on HN! Just a throwaway word in a flow of typing: brains are weird like that.
It means a lot to me that someone put in so much effort to make sure to understand there wasn't a false dichotomy here. You're, no exaggeration, a hero for standing up when people do this. Drives me nuts too.
FWIW, you didn't have to put in that much work, as short as "Universally?" would have sufficed. (apologies if I misunderstand: I'm not sure exactly what led to the strong, helpful, contribution, but I'm assuming that the root was 'universally')
Not just the universally, it's also that it doesn't seem like unquestioned to me. Though I'm sure one would be able to find subgroups taking Sonos' side if one went looking beyond popular opinions
