Wireless Is a Trap

It's an absolute explosion of complexity. I'd have to talk for nearly an hour to explain the Bluetooth modes, and then longer if the user didn't understand radio interference. It's too much. It's like having to be able to tune a carbourator to run a car. It's a skill very few people have, and having less of it is actually good.

Explosions of complexity tend to happen when complexity is poorly managed in the first place.

If you need the person to understand Less need for specialized skills/info is good. Less availability of that info when needed, I just can't see how that can be good.

An hour of coherent explanation by a friend is worth more than an hour of pointless frustration at a company, no?

Correct me if I'm wrong (oh no, needing specialized info to make a general argument!) but modern cars don't have carburetors anymore, because it turned out to be an evolutionary dead end of sorts?

Maybe the same thing is bound to happen to Bluetooth anyway; and I believe that the better its workings are exposed to those who want to know it, the sooner people would be able to replace it with something that works better, thus generating less waste - of both resources and time

Idk where the "If you need the person to understand" part came from
