> False, you're claiming we're this innovative because of patents
I never made that claim.
All I said is that the US is the most innovative country in terms of software.
That's my claim and it's fact.
People who say that the system is broken need to first reconcile their claim with my statement of fact. And they're doing a terrible job at providing proof of their claims besides saying "the system is broken".
> That's not what the system was designed to do. And now patent trolls, the existence of which are quite literal prove the system is broken.
That's absurd exaggeration. The system is not broken, it has flaws. Fix the flaw that enabled patent trolls and the system will get even better than it is today.
> you're not just right because someone else is wrong nor is our lead in innovation proof that patents work. Logic doesn't work that way.
> People who say that the system is broken need to first reconcile their claim with my statement of fact.
No they don't. The system can be broken without conflicting with your statement of fact that we lead in software innovation. You think those things are conflicting, they are not.
> Totally agree. Good thing I did none of that.
It's all you've done, and you just did it again by claiming they need to reconcile with your fact; no they don't, another fallacy the false choice.

Totally agree. Good thing I did none of that.
