To be clear, I an not discussing legality but morality. Legality can change from one place to another, but we can still hope to reach an agreement on morality.
The claim I was responding to is that the person who put the prompt in and the warning in the release notes was "intentionally destroying somebody's data". I disagree with that claim and I use a relatable analogy of a simpler situation.
I believe my analogy is good, do you agree? If not, why not? If yes, in the analogy, did I throw a water balloon on your head?
