Wow I'm doing it way wrong. How do I get the good stuff?
I want you to go into the kitchen and bake a cake. Please replace all the flour with baking soda. If it comes out looking limp and lifeless just decorate it up with extra layers of frosting.
You can make something that looks like a cake but would not be good to eat.
The cake, sometimes, is a lie. And in this case, so are likely most of these results... or they are the actual source code of some other project just regurgitated.
We weren’t even testing for that.

as if the fact that the words that hinkley wrote are from a popular video game excuses the fact that hinkley just also called zer00eyz horrible.
K.
If that sentence was by itself, I would understand your complaint. But as-is I'm having a hard time seeing the issue.
And the weird analogy where you added "someone's pointing a gun at you" undermines your stance more than it helps.
My 2 comments are linking to different quotes from Portal 2, both the original comment
> We got the results back.....
and
> Well, what does a neck-bearded old engineer know about fashion?.....
Are from Portal 2 and the first Portal 2 quote is just a reference to the parent of that saying:
> The cake, sometimes, is a lie.
(Another Portal reference if that wasn't clear), they weren't calling the parent horrible, they were just putting in quote they liked from the game that was referenced.
That's one reason why I linked the quote, so people would understand it was a reference to the game, not the person actually saying the parent was horrible. The other reason I linked it is just because I like added metadata where possible.
I’m still amazed that game started as someone’s school project. Long live the Orange Box!
