He can do that all he likes. Doesn't change the fact that outside of the post you quoted and this here, I've mentioned him a grand total of twice. Also, considering how bland my post was... /shrug

It didn't get found during certification because it's completely random and while the issue is frequent, it wasn't discovered during the certification process.

No QA system will ever find every bug. It's not possible or feasible.

SE at least, owns up to their mistakes (or at least the XIV devs do). It's why there is such goodwill.

You can point to all the negative threads here all you want, but generally speaking, they are all made by the same smallish group who all agree with each other. They made their own little echo chamber and anyone who disagrees is "white knighting".

They are just as bad, if not worse, than those who say SE makes no mistakes lol.
This. As nice as it would be for things to work perfectly 100% of the time... that's not physically possible (or even sane to expect). Things will slip through the cracks from time to time and/or only crop up in certain environments. Best one can do is own up and fix the issue.
