Introducing a new kind of Wi-Fi system

Of course I am ignoring the word "Usually". It's not a substantial word. How much is usually? There are always "uncommon exceptions" to some subject (see the implicit flaw with this sentence? That's because I don't use the word "usually". What kind of an argument can I make without the word "usually"?)

It disregards a whole field of volunteered hard work to make mesh networking technology accessible by people who don't want to buy "expensive, commercial" hardware and software.'

It sends the message: "Don't look further, because it's not worth it -- because usually other solutions are expensive and commercial."

Then you are criticizing something other than their actual description.

No, I'm criticizing the wording. Perhaps you should ask yourself more questions about the construction of these descriptions and what messages they convey, than merely the definition of the word usually.

Well, except that you are expressly ignoring a key word in doing that.
