This is accurate. Let's let that be the place we stay.

Well I don't, and it's my position, isn't it? It's not accurate. I don't think that "all will be better without GitHub"—and what's more is that I practice the "without GitHub" part; I have the firsthand experience to be able to say it's not true, so I wouldn't try to tell anyone that it is—and I didn't. I'm responsible for my own ideas, not ones imagined upon me.

Moreover, if I argue that A and B are not equivalent and that I prefer deal with A in its original form and not B, and you argue that they are equivalent, it's not rational for either party to insist that we deal with B in place of A. So let's not.
