Benedict Evans Knows What He Said

Benedict Evans writes smart things about mobile technology and works at the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz. Did you read what he said?

So in any contentious topic, it's hard to avoid expanding a tweet into what you infer they must mean, rather than what they actually said.

@KennyStoltz @wakehamp no, that wasn't what I said.

@mynamesmasha no, that's not what I said. What I said is right there for you to read. Try it, sometime.

@thememorious that comment has nothing at all to do with what I said

@RajivVarma that has no bearing whatsoever on what I said

@CrystalPepsi @supertamsf no, I said the exact opposite. Read what I said, instead of projecting your prejudices

@Bitcoin_Watcher that's not what I said. In fact, I said the opposite

@lakeline I didn't say that. I said what I said. You can read it, right there.

@quinnnorton nope. I said exactly what I said.

@NicMcC83 Given I didn't say I hate the homeless, I refer you to https://t.co/xM9rfwL6sl . Read what I *SAID*.

@GarettJones I have no idea, at all, what you’re talking about. Start again. Read what I said, then add value. Be civil.

@connormcmk That wasn't what I said, though. So...

@robleathern yes? That's consistent with what I said.

@mikepetruzzo @benwerd i have no idea what you're trying to say. But it has nothing to do with anything I said. Read, don't assume.

@Arthur99100 no, I mean what I said. It's disfunctional.

@mccaig read again. Then work out what I said. It’s not that hard to understand.

@DaveCothran No, actually, I meant what I said. It's right there for you to real. See?

@Jewthulhu I'm always happy to discuss what I said, but not to discuss what I didn't
