Great points. Another thing I see with lot of reporting/editorializing these days that even when it is true in narrow technical sense overall it sounds dishonest.

One reason is it kind of insinuates that people can exist beyond time and space. So they can have all good things cherry-picked and be made available.

Like I see here people drooling over cheap mobile internet in India without thinking about so many good things in life are simply not available or far too costly by local purchasing power when compared to US.
