you have completely missed the point of the analogy. breaking the analogy beyond the point where it is useful by introducing non-generalising specifics is not a useful argument. Otherwise I can counter your more specific non-generalising analogy by introducing little green aliens sabotaging your imaginary CI with the same ease and effect. | ||||||||

I disagree you could do that and claim to be reasonable. But I agree, because I'd rather discuss the pragmatics and not bicker over the semantics about an analogy. Introducing a token error, is different from plagiarism, no? Someone wrote code that can't compile, is different from someone "stealing" proprietary code from some company, and contributing it to some FOSS repo? In order to assume good faith, you also need to assume the author is the origin. But that's clearly not the case. The origin is from somewhere else, and the author that put their name on the paper didn't verify it, and didn't credit it. | ||||||||
