Nit picking does not show weak points. You are debating a point which is 
no consequence to the OP's argument. He says that etc-update prompts the 
user about important changes. You say that it also prompts the user 
about unimportant changes. So what? The poster's position is still 
correct, and the validity of your comment does not weaken his argument. 
To show that an argument is incorrect you must show that either the 
premise is incorrect or a logical step is flawed.

Telling us that etc-update prompts about unimportant changes does not 
show where the real issue is, since the topic at hand is what happens 
with important changes.

Telling us that etc-update prompts about unimportant changes does not 
remove the basis of his argument. It is quite irrelevant.

I have not lied about your position, I would be grateful if you did not 
lie about mine. I only restated your position after I asked you and you 
said "yes". I said that it seemed that by your definition any software 
product and even sharp knives aren't dangerous because they require user 
action and you replied "yes". On the other hand, I never said that every 
software product was dangerous; you never asked if that was
