What this sentence describes is at worst a double standard. NOT
hypocrisy.
If the person addressed claimed or even implied that he backed up his
claims when he did not, *that* would be hypocrisy.
A person's criticizing someone else for not backing up his claims when
that person does not criticize himself for the same thing would be a
double standard if he denies that his behaviour includes that failing. A different standard for himself from what he has for the person
addressed**. But if he doesn't deny that he does the same thing, if
he admits it or he's even silent on the matter, he has not even shown a
double standard.
If people couldn't criticize other people for the same things they do themselves, misbehaviour and sin would be even more rampant than they
are now. People could not teach their children how to behave better
than they themselves do. Etc.
The situation above could be complicated by the question of how much
backing up is really needed and how much was actually provided, by both parties. In other words, what claims were backed up and what were not,
but that doesn't change my original sentence. What was described by the previous poster, even assuming it was true, is NOT hypocrisy. It is
either a double standard or it's nothing.
**BTW, double standards are almost universal. People judge others by
their behaviour. They judge themselves most of the time by their
intentions. I wanted to but this and this stopped me. They know all the reasons, often good ones, that they themselves didn't meet the standard
they had set for others and even maybe for themselves. They DON'T know
the reasons the other guy failed to do so. Or they don't want to know,
or they don't care.
8 days before I saw this so posted and mailed.
Wait until June 20th, Chris, and then you can cry & whine that Apple can't >>> sell their phones which have always had the crappiest batteries possible. >>>
You think Apple doesn't put crappy batteries in the iPhone on purpose?
Have you ever even once checked the specs on the iPhone batteries, Chris? >>>
My free Galaxy A32-5G in April 2021 had a MSRP of around $180, Chris,
and it has a battery far superior to that put in *any* iPhone ever made.
Please show how it meets the EU regulations that you claim iphones could
not.
It's 22nd June and instead of Arlen's critical analysis and logic skills >(sic) all we've got is tumbleweed.
I guess his unsubstantiated claims, as per usual, were simply hot air.
