This is a thread with a simle premise: to list things which Amiga could do better than a contemporary PC. The title does not really imply a debate, but if you want to start one, you'd need to disagree with some concrete facts (like I did in the post which you amusingly then quoted). And your long-winded diatribe does not include a single fact, instead there is usual stuff about "Amiga fans" and some Captain Obvious-level wisdom.

No. It does contain a fact. It's a rational series of statements leading to a conclusion:
"Your argument, as usual, doesn't mean anything because, as usual, you're placing the comparison through a filter anybody can use to make anything they like come out on top".
As I said, per the examples:
Amiga v fitted carpet?
Same process "What advantages does a carpet have over an Amiga?". Result: Carpet wins.
Just to reiterate: As I said in the post you want to discredit, if you place any two things through a filter whereby you take out only the advantages one thing has over the other then you will always emerge with whatever that one thing was as the winner.
Amiga v Manure?
Manure can be used to fertilise food crops, amiga can't.
Manure wins.
See what I mean?
That *is* a fact: Use that process and get anything to win you want.
You can use the same process on yourself: Just cluster together any group of attributes which apply to you and not somebody else. There you go. You won!
As I said, it's an empty victory because anybody else can use the same process to claim a similar hollow victory for anything they want.
It's also characteristic of how the pro-Amiga argument goes.
As I said, you can do it with anything and it will always produce a hollow victory for anything you've pre-selected as the winner: just pre-define your selection criteria around the unique definition of whatever it is you want to win.
A bag of manure v Amiga?
Well, as plant fertiliser, the manure wins.
Conclusion: Manure is better than an Amiga (provided you shrink-fit your selection criteria around the specific unique features of manure).
