You’re right. But your statement was that no product worth using is bug free. I said that no software exists that is without bugs. Your statement uses the presence of bugs to indicate a product is worth using. But since all software has bugs, that applies to every product ever made. It doesn’t have any discriminating power. So it’s not fallacious on its face but it’s not useful either, and that’s what I was trying to point out.
No product is bug free. Are all products worth using?
"No product worth using is bug free" is not the same statement as "all bug free products are worth using". Come on man, this is basic logic.
