Are you an expert on the subject being discussed?
I am.
Also, there's just one reality.
How, exactly, can telemetry be collected poorly?
You totally ignore my points of collecting that much data becomes ineffective and becomes 'white noise', as well as how that data would benefit resale more than it would UX analysis.
You could just move on, Internet Warrior.
You're trying to tell an expert on the subject we're discussing that they're wrong about something that they're telling you they're very sure of, from many years of experience.
That's moving the goalpost. We were talking about improving UX for humans, not bug tracking.
You can gather that from non-telemetry means as well. Also, if you're adding functionality into an application without the analysis and design portion of the development cycle not identifying them as little-used features, then you're doing software development wrong.
Well, I can't stop you from putting your fingers in your ears and going "LA! LA! LA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" either, but that doesn't make you right, or smart.
Me? I listen when an expert in a field tells me something (especially when its for free!), it usually benefits me in the long run.
You're not being intellectually honest.
