Would you pay $100 for everytime Sawstop fired or misfired to
replace the parts?
If the choice was that or 1600 bucks for a new saw, then the answer is
obvious.
Why would that be the only choice? Do you buy a new saw when you have
an accident on it?
If the accident does $100 worth of damage to the saw then the choice is
to
pay the $100 to fix it or to get a new saw. Same situation.
??? really?
Yes, really. The sawstop fires, you now have a saw that won't run until you
fix it, same as if anything else went wrong with it.
An equally valid choice would be pay $100 or have a peanut butter and
jelly sandwich rammed down your throat by a purple titanium robot while
you are sleeping.
How is that an "equally valid choice"? It makes absolutely no sense as
an analogy.
Hey! That is what I was trying to say!
What is what you were trying to say?
I hate false dilemmas.
What "false dilemma"? If one has a saw equipped with a Sawstop, then the
choice is to replace the cartridge for 100 bucks, replace the saw for
whatever is the price of a new saw, defeat the absent cartridge, or don't
saw. I don't see another option.
Now you offer 4 choices. You understand that this proves that the first
post with only two choices was a false dilemma, don't you?
I understand that you seem more interested in the cleverness of your own
argument than in any kind of discourse.
Life's too short.
