We're now on 16.4.1(a) after that new-fangled update.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. It's so patently obvious as a PR
exercise in incompetence-covering.
Maybe we'll soon see a 16.4.1(a.1)

Adverse criticism is not "trolling"; not to people with minds.
For example, many app updates carry descriptions such as "performance
improvements, better game experience and bugs cleared"; and it's not too
difficult to read beyond the euphemistic phraseology to the reality.
Among educated people that would promote discussion, not a sudden inrush
of thought-police yelling "Not here, not here". In a forum where
intelligence predominates over crudity, it would be welcomed.

Claiming a software update is supposedly "a PR exercise in
incompetence-covering" without any evidence to back up that claim is
classic weak trolling. You have yet to provide a shred of objectively
verifiable evidence of that claim. And you won't, because it doesn't
exist. Your trolls are as weak as ever.

Along that line of criticism and commendation, it took decades but Apple
finally modified their release mechanism to be like all other computers.
https://9to5mac.com/2022/01/21/heres-why-apple-should-provide-standalone-updates-for-native-ios-apps/

As of iOS 16, Apple can now release patch updates just like Google has done
for Android for about ten years and Microsoft did for Windows for as long.

The criticism is it took Apple forever. The commendation is Apple finally
changed their hotfix patch release mechanism as of iOS 16 and above.

I think you'd have got on quite well with Torquemada, Miserable Roger.
Have you ever read The Grand Inquisitor chapter in Dostoevsky's The

Perhaps the cinema is more your forté.
You and I could star in a Quentin Tarantino film. He wouldn't need all
the ketchup-splattering in the final chapter; we'd just stand face to
face, and the hatred would be palpable to all. Then some music would
start up as we faced each other like gun-slingers in a spaghetti-western.
How about "Django Unchained"?
You could be the Leonardo DiCaprio character (or maybe the Samuel L
Jackson one), and I'd be the Christoph Waltz one.

This is a declarative sentence. Not "adverse criticism".

What kind of language do you recommend for adverse criticism? Greek?
If I write "It was wrong for the Nazis to practise genocide against the
Jews"; or "It was wrong for Trump supporters to storm the Capitol",
those are both declarative sentences.
Let me know how you would rephrase them to bring them into line with
your inane concept.

Some great declarative sentences.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

I made it quite clear: avoid declarative sentences. A mode available in
most languages.
