I did not mean it to be a 1:1 analogy, but rather a similar situation in history. My contention was not "this is precisely like the introduction of the spreadsheet." It was a tangentially related comment wondering whether there was the same level of angst among accountants when their field was suddenly impacted by a new technology.

hn commenters man

"hn commenters" indeed. Instead of addressing the substance of the criticism of your analogy you ventured into irrelevant (and incorrect) semantic tangent.

Like you continue to do - I understand that it wasn't meant to be 1:1, but it doesn't impact the assessment that it's a very bad one because the things you think are common are not even close.
