I wasn't. I was simply pointing out how "Face Value" isn't logic. Since it wouldn''t be logical for a Police man to think like that.
Everything after that wasn't police logic. It was basic informal logic.
It was actually taking Sony at face value and assuming everything they said was true.
All it was doing was removing unstated assumptions that they did not say.
Which is the difference between thinking about a statement critically, and not thinking about it critically.
All not looking at it critically does is get your hopes up and make you think they are saying something they aren't.
Which means if they go against expectations you end up feeling betrayed and like they lied.
When in reality, you just weren't listening to what they were saying.
All 3 console companies have done this before... quite a bit.
So yeah. It's worth treating such words with suspicion and being ready, just in case. Otherwise, you might just blame the company for your own blind trust and have lost a chance to voice your frustrations before it's too late/push for clarification.
Being forced to clarify before a company wants is the one few ways you actually can get positive change done.
