His analogy wasn't to start a discussion on politics, nor is the important thing that it is a bad thing. The important thing and the whole essence of his analogy (and this discussion) is that it also those
other things as well. In others words: it does not work...
My car analogy is just the same but from another POV. If a car only starts half the time
(analogy to you only get a true open/closed window notification half the time), it is not a working car
(analogy to it is not working as a reliable open/close window notifier)...
And that is the whole essence. If something is not working or is not accurate 100% all the time, it is not working. period. I wouldn't buy that car as a 'working' car, just I wouldn't call the bombing solution a 'working' solution either.
A mailclient which will mail an email but together with that mail some random stuff sometimes, I wouldn't want to use that as a 'working' email client either.
If your mathimatical solution in the schoollab isn't reliable, I don't think your teacher would give you much points as it is not working 100%
If the shortcut for a personalised status in Messenger Plus! sometimes change your status to that personalised status, but other times to a random one, I don't think people will call that feature working... And you all will be shouting to Patchou to make it working or shouting to him to stop calling it finished and working....
Again,
if something isn't accurate 100%, thus isn't working 100%, it is not working.

Not in dispute at all, but you can't then release it as a "open/close window notifier or make people believe it will do such a thing.
Exactly!

Awesome, where will this be released
A new thread in the script section will be created (hopefully together with a warning and proper explanation that it is not reliable as a window notifier and hopefully together with a link to this thread so people can discuss the 'working' issue in here and don't spam that thread with it)

And I hope it will not as not only that is NOT what it is and also because that will do nothing good to be informative and accurate toward people (his own users of the script) and will only keep this discussion alive with what you all call useless ranting posts.
Calling the script a window notifier undermines everything what has been said by people who dedicate there time to help other people in an accurate and correct way in the past years and on several messenger forums. Very nice towards them I'd say...
