Dear Nick, It is precisely this topic, but I think the passage that I read before was even better. I appreciated the passage of interest for its arrogance, similar to your phrasing of the Microsoft Question but more blunt. The passage was maybe a paragraph long, and I think it was an interjection to some other topic rather than its own webpage. It could be that the recent goals and policy documents were adapted from the earlier phrasing, perhaps to cater to people who don't share my appreciation of arrogance. With appreciation, Ibsen
