    Apple routinely recorded their private conversations after they activated Siri unintentionally, and disclosed these conversations to third parties such as advertisers.

Yeah, great track record there.

How does this one instance refute the argument you quoted?

You will never silence the paranoid lunatics who come out in droves whenever Apple is discussed.

The only standard they will accept is absolute perfection. It doesn’t matter all of the drastic steps they’ve taken to ensure that past mistakes are never made again or that their hands are tied when governments make demands of them in the future. It doesn’t matter that they’re demonstrably orders of magnitude better than everyone else.

Only for internet comment purposes. I’ve found that these same jabronis actually tend to run crappy and wildly unsafe home rolled kludges, for themselves.

Hopefully you do understand what "track record" means, especially when it isn't really a clean one.

And do you understand what "best" means?
