Certainly not getting approached like I did in my younger years when I HADN'T done any "clearing".
I dunno, just saying it's odd. Aren't we supposed to be IMPROVING?
It reminds me of how I ""improved" my style and suddenly lost ALL interest from women online. Like ALL interest.
Maybe sometimes "improving" isn't improving.

While I understand your concerns, I don't understand what that has to do with Ricardo's core argument -- that Shannon made promises that are fundamentally untrue.
Is the sub working as intended? No, of course not. It's a product in active development. But, did Shannon make the promise that a 2 would suddenly turn into a 10? No, he didn't.
Right, I get that. But if me (a 7, at least) is having trouble, I think it's safe to say the program isn't really working.
I don't believe Ricardo's argument is about the words he's choosing, but the underlying frustration that the program isn't helping us with an issue we bought it to help us with.
At least for me, that's what it's about.
Understandable. However, we bought an unfinished product that's still in testing. It's a bit unfair to be so frustrated with the situation when you agreed to actively test and contribute your findings in exchange for a lower price.
As a skilled and experienced businessman, I already know that demand for DMSI will be off the charts once it hits the target goal and Shannon will undoubtedly significantly raise the price to compensate for the demand. The pay off for our frustration is that we entered at a very low price compared to what others will pay. Not to mention, most of us have been clearing for awhile now, so we'll be leagues ahead in the long run.
You either wait until it's done and pay more (but get to run other things in the mean time), or buy in early at a relatively low price and get the final for super cheap. Can't have it both ways.
But again, that's not the argument Ricardo was making. He was insinuating that DMSI's final goal is impossible by changing what Shannon promised into something completely different.
