hi, author here.
"This blog post was tough to read! Seems to have capped out at a 6th grade level."
I'm not a native speaker, and this is the best I can do. I was expecting less than 6th grade, so thanks!
"Re: the topic, the author shows clear bias toward Firefox"
Yes, the article literally says I am biased towards Firefox success. You didn't discover a secret plot or anything.
"It might be better to just acknowledge this: the best browser wins on each platform."
No, the one shipped to user's home screens wins. Even crappy ones.
"20/20 means PERFECT vision. Above that is ‘abnormally good’."
If it would mean perfect, there would not be a level above it. I do agree the statement isn't as clever as I planned it to be.
Re: the topic, the author shows clear bias toward Firefox. It might be better to just acknowledge this: the best browser wins on each platform. Period.
Safari is up there because it runs the best/fastest/with least trouble on iPhones and iPads.
20/20 means PERFECT vision. Above that is ‘abnormally good’.
In other words, the author has a clearly biased view, tries to figure out the obvious, and doesn’t ‘agree’ with definitions for words. Right!
