> He said "heavily contended", and then you dropped the "heavily" prefix and claimed that was literally what he said. That adverb is material to the discussion and your dropping it completely changes the meaning.
"Heavily" was not dropped intentionally at all. Add it back to my comments. It changes nothing whatsoever. The incredible opinion that every problem can be necessarily parallelized without eventually resulting in contention (and I license you to freely modify this term with 'light', 'heavy', 'medium-rare', 'salted', 'peppered', or 'grilled at 450F' to your taste) is so fantastically absurd that I cannot believe you are debating it. I definitely don't know how you can justify such an unfounded claim with no evidence and I certainly have no interest in wasting time debating it. As I said earlier: if you never encounter problems that exhibit eventual scalability limits, more power to you.
