What you're really saying is that you have the rewards system of a child. The application the author wrote is very simple and has no use - what kind of feedback is she looking for?

I suspect even "I can think of no use case for this app" would be more appreciated than "is it fully buzzword-compliant?"

Additionally, phrases like "What you're really saying is that you have the rewards system of a child" are exactly what I'm talking about. That statement is intentionally worded as an attack, so I have to make a conscious effort to not get defensive. If you want an actual discussion about how rewards systems may change as people grow up, we can talk about that. That was an extremely ineffective way of starting the conversation, though.

I believe what pcmonk is trying to say is that you are stupid and arrogant, and that is a poor combination.

Different people are at different levels on the needs hierarchy.
