How low can creationists sink? How about pretending the great evo-devo scientist Rudy Raff provided evidence against evolution?

Remember: Apple's argument to the UK competition tribunal wasn't that users would be safer if they didn't have a choice to switch browsers when the next WebKit vuln lands.
It wasn't that WebKit is actually a leading engine.
It wasn't that businesses aren't harmed by a decade of shocking neglect and showstopping bugs.
No, Apple's argument was "you didn't begin an investigation fast enough".

It's telling that Cupertino is willing to go to these extremes despite the stacking reputational risks. The extractive machine must be fed!
A web that *actually* competes with apps the way Apple has claims in court that they do just can't be allowed to emerge.

...which is a reminder that the recent burst of investment in Safari is *also* a delay tactic; backup for an argument that "there's nothing to see here, it's all fine":

Expect Safari headcount to mysteriously go walkabout should the EU astroturfing and lobbying go the same way as the UK petulance has.

With the CMA Appeal, the mask is fully off: Apple really hates the idea of you being able to choose a better browser. So much so that it's willing to funnel dark money to lobbying groups and litigate even the smallest technicalities to avoid having to compete.
Imagine, if you can, this kind of cash going to improve WebKit!

"In fact, we should acknowledge that most people are forced to live inside someone else’s imagination and one of the things we have to come to grips with is how the nightmares that many people are forced to endure are the underside of elite fantasies about efficiency, profit, and social control. Racism, among other axes of domination, helps produce this fragmented imagination, misery for some, monopoly for others."
