      yes, but the point is to make something that might actually become new standard instead of making the problem worse. I think the problem is that everyone wants to make something that is great for them and hopes others will just willingly or unwillingly use it.

        I think it’s pretty rare that people aren’t trying to make a thing they think is better than what already exists. Even in the comic, they think they’re solving the problem, just like you.

          Yes they are, but if result is not improvement then there is a problem in the process. I think that problem is that people just dont think beyond themselves enough.

            Who said there weren’t improvements?

            Even in your example of combining two, there’s going to be tradeoffs depending on what pieces they choose from each. Sometimes there isn’t an objectively better thing in all aspects.

              the ultimate goal of everything should be to try making things better, otherwise what is the point. That is the baseline of all my thinking.

                As is the mindset of everyone who set out to make a better standard. You don’t seem to be getting that.
