As I said, it is tied to people who have moderate experience with Macs who
are intelligent.

Suppose the person in question has no experience with prompting the
behavior in question on such apps using a Mac? Are such people
unintelligent in your opinion?

Basic "techiness" and having decent observation skills are
also needed, of course.

I obviously possess "observation skills" adequate enough to observe that
the behavior in question does exist on a Mac. This isn't an opinion,
it's an irrefutable fact.

In other words... it has nothing to do with
"intelligence"

Sure it does - if someone has general experience with Macs and meets other
basic criteria

"basic criteria" like having experience with prompting the behavior in
question on apps that exhibit the behavior when prompted, you mean?

it is very much tied to intelligence.

The bottom line is I either possess the intelligence to recognize the
behavior in question when I see it or I don't... I obviously do. Again,
this isn't an opinion, it's an irrefutable fact.

Sure, some people can
be very intelligent and yet not be techy... but my comments are in
reference
to regular posters to CSMA, people who are pretty much guaranteed to be at
least somewhat techy. Look at you: you are techy enough to be playing
with
PHP and the like.

Which means what, in your opinion, when referenced against apps I've not
'experienced' with respect to prompting this behavior? The correlation
you are trying to draw here is non-existent.

, it has to do with experience with certain apps and the behavior of
those
apps. No one will be shocked that you couldn't differentiate between
these
two
things.

I suppose there might be some regulars of CSMA who use only a couple apps
and thus do not see the many apps that fit into this category. Can you
think of anyone?

Their existence, or not, is irrelevant to the point you believe you're
making. Another irrefutable fact.

I can't.

You simply made a mistake

What, in your opinion, is my mistake?

: you are either not observant enough or not
intelligent enough to see the patterns of how apps work on a Mac.

How, in your opinion, could I possibly observe something from apps I've
not prompted to exhibit the behavior in question?

This is not a debatable point - you proved it.

How, in your opinion, did I prove it?

Notably, the above is quite different from a person believing that Apple
created an $1800.00 disposable computer that can just be thrown away
when the battery dies. That's something only a person who couldn't
differentiate between the two things you just proved you couldn't
differentiate between would believe... which is why *you* are the person
who stated Apple made such a device;)

Above

.... are several realities that you ran from and questions you were
unable to answer honestly without proving you're an idiot ? Yes, that's
true.
