It behooves one to read the conversation before replying. The implication is this: perhaps if the people who wrote the spec personally had to offer tech support for the spec they wrote, they might have an incentive to write less insane specs.

I get that. But spec writers never have to do that, yet there are many other specs that are presumably less insane. So it's unlikely that not-requiring tech support is a causal factor in USB's supposed insanity.

Reading the thread would also explain that you're discussing somebody's 'fantasy', not expectation or belief of causality.

This is classic HN stuff, I find it actually valuable to see an explicit enumeration of all possible interpretations of some statement, also somewhat humorous.

To be honest, I wanted to essentially say that it's a thoroughly stupid fantasy. But in more polite terms.
