> Which is a ridiculous assertion

To the person who made the claim, it was the first, because of their limited view of the world. I always take claims of being first with a grain of salt for this reason.

That said, I completely agree. I definitely used remote debuggers and on-device debuggers on mobile before Android/iOS existed.

Then one would say 'it was the first i've seen'

We have language for a reason. Despite what you hear on daytime talk shows about 'your truth', back in reality, actual truth is objective


Isn't that what everyone is saying. To say otherwise would mean you have a perfect understanding of something static.

It is the first they know about. It may be defined differently.

You cannot claim absolute truth on most things you can't can't claim absolute understanding of the language people use to express things.

If you expect absolute truth in a variable world you're in for disappoinment.


I agree with parent. Speaker is a famous technical expert making public comments, people are gonna take him seriously. He should check that what he's saying is true.
