Responding to MKBHD's skepticism about a staged automotive demo, Aronchick argues the discourse has lost all nuance: you either blindly worship flashy demos and their makers, or you're branded a hater of progress. He claims both stances at once—he loves amazing demos even when mostly fake because they expand humanity's vision, but also wants to know what's real, because real things can actually be used.
