    Judging from the excerpt quoted in my original comment, it has at least been renamed to StudioLab.

    counts as him making points from an unsavoury position

    Didn’t say that it did. It’s just something that I didn’t know until recently, that I have only seen brought up once in the decade plus of Cory being treated as an important source of truth in this sphere.

    I’m not trying to say that it somehow makes him full of shit or anything. Personally it gives me pause about some of his previous rants, and casts a minor amount shade on his position. But I also personally feel that the merits of a point made matter significantly more than the source.

    I intentionally said nothing more than the fact itself in my original comment. Everyone is welcome to decide how important or not it is to them personally.

    It’s exactly the kind of thing that people tend to use to challenge someone’s position, so I understand the confusion. Just wish people would stop coming at me like I kicked their puppy for bringing it up.
