> You're welcome to think what you want

How big of you.

> I've had to explain to enough juniors enough times what "open" actually means, so I know what people without any preconceived notions think it means, vs what experts on HN associate with the word after decades in the industry.

This is not relevant--it addresses a strawman and deflects from the actual claim you made and that I disputed.

> FYI: this style of conversation won't get anyone to listen to you.

Projection. I will in fact cease to respond to you.

> ... isn't that a No True Scotsman?

Obviously not. Failing to understand the difference between "real", "actual", "true" etc. which are the essence of the fallacy and valid qualifiers like "good" shows a fundamental failure to understand the point of the fallacy.
