You shouldn't cite other peoples' arguments if you can't do it
honestly.

Yeah, your defense of the buggy "gets()" function is an example.

I can't cite your arguments for defending that piece of

You are the main defender of gets() trigraphs, and all obsolete
stuff in C. Obviously you are against making C anything
