Do you think having "the first commercial refactoring browser" is the same as "[a]utomated refactoring was invented in Smalltalk" ;-)

Incidentally, what's your source for "Ralph Johnson… was the creator of the first Smalltalk refactoring browser" ?

Don't be a douche, obviously I don't think it's the same hence my comment. And I'm willing to bet, same as you, my source was Google to verify my memory of something I read long ago.

If I'd read it as obvious I wouldn't have made that comment: your name-calling is unhelpful.

We still don't know if you simply confabulated your other claim.

I didn't name call, saying don't be something isn't remotely the same as saying you are something. If someone tells you don't be a jerk, they're not calling you a jerk, they're warning you you're nearing that point. We're done, good will has exited the building, there's no point in continuing.
