From the guidelines: Please don't insinuate that someone hasn't read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that."

The guidelines are indeed a nice idea. Its a pity a tiny minority seems to care for or follow them. IMO Using them to selectively criticize is worse than not having them in the first place.

"Qualcomm’s big innovation" is followed by several exaggerations and falsehoods. So, saying you mention something is meaningless when you include that amount of bias.

Read up on Token ring vs Ethernet to get some understanding of the history in this area.
