Experts are right infinitely more often than non-experts.

Seriously. I don’t know whether Aaron Rodgers is a critical thinker, but I do know that all of the times he’s tried to project himself as a critical thinker, he’s just advocating for easily disproven nonsense.

People that are really smart / experts in one field, can sometimes assume that it makes them experts in other fields. He intuitively knows that I can’t read some google results and then process a live football play as well as he can, but he doesn’t seem to understand that reading a few web pages on topics that he has no education or experience with does not make him an expert on those things.

But it is authoritarian. Using the power of the State to force a company to make a specific technological decision, regardless of what their customers want (their customers are already free to purchase phones with USB C if that’s what they want), is authoritarian.

Whether it is a positive for the customer (it’s hardly a positive for me, and all my lightning cables) has nothing to do with whether a government should dictate a technological decision to a company.
