Gosh, what a silly turn this conversation is taking...
It's not only not good enough that Adobe publishes technical papers each of
which furthers knowledge going beyond what strictly concerns Adobe and its
public image (and strictly speaking Adobe is under no obligation to do any
of this, but only *chooses* to do so possibly for reasons that go beyond
mere self-interest -- though that enters the picture too, obviously).
And none of these papers directly promote Adobe's products. Of course they
deal with subjects that Adobe products have a stake in -- or should Adobe
start publishing technical papers on gardening just to prove a point?
No, none of that is enough: Adobe should actually promote *the
competition's* products -- only then would it prove its *total integrity" to
the exacting standards that are being promoted here.
Would *you* promote your competitor's products? How preposterous.
