For a person of such eloquence, it seems strange that your reading 
comprehension would fail you so terribly or that you would suddenly try 
your hardest to be the opposite of pedantic.

Jörn's post was an openly emotional reaction to a situation that came 
about because of a specific set of features that you get with an Apple 
laptop, if you want them, or not. It's a fact that there is a specific 
risk because of those features. So if you are that hell-bent on boiling 
it down, the statement would be: "There is a specific problem with every 
(since a certain generation) Apple laptop".

Anyway, ignoring the mood set with hyperbole like "... for I have 
sinned", going all pseudo-analytical instead, is rather tone-deaf.

I for one, consider the case interesting and the way it was brought 
forward entertaining. My thanks to Jörn, who doesn't deserve such 
persnicketiness!
