In isolation it would, but Linux audio *is* full of pitfalls, and there's nothing wrong with saying so in a sentence within a longer email. I see that your objection is to posts that dismiss something without giving any route to fix it, and I get that that doesn't help and it would be really nice if we could all think again before posting such things and maybe give them a bit more substance. But I think what Fons is pointing out is different -- he's quoting posts that have started saying (effectively) "the Linux version of this is worse" without explaining what it was that was worse, or why. That's a strange thing to start doing, and it suggests maybe something has gone wrong that has made you (Ralf) reconsider your perception of things. It would be good to know what that was.
