It's easy to dismiss comments you don't like as "tinfoil hat"-like, but it's much harder to explain why they should be suddenly trusted. Care to try?

Don't trust, but also don't overestimate. Incompetence is always the likelier explanation.

Except AT&T has a long history of malice under the guise of incompetence. Just today: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20170426/05094537241/att-u...

I'm sure you can find a better example than that. That's not malicious, it's just annoying marketing.

While incompetence may be most likely, alternative possibilities should still be considered, and kept in mind for future context.

Im not suggesting they should be trusted. I'm just saying not everything requires the same overblown reaction.
