You will find that in a situation, most fraudulent responses to it are easier to do than honest ones. That does not justify it, and you all would not think that for other things. Nor does it render you incapable of "get[ting] the "grievance" or whatever you want to call it", when you actually understand it perfectly well because you knew why it would be wrong for other people to do it. Not a single person ever argued that it would be easier to be honest. Your argument was not, until possibly right now months later, that the bullshit was merely more convenient. Your argument up to just a few minutes ago was explicitly that you did not even get what the grievance is - even though you get it 100% perfectly fine when it's not Memory Lane doing it. If you want to reduce your position to this much lesser one, I would still posit the apparent violations of state law it seems they committed in doing it would render it not pragmatic or advisable, but that's another issue.
