"Oracle wants to have its cake and eat it too."
This "quote" always riles me up as it's BACKWARDS. Of COURSE you can
have your cake and eat it too! What sick, sadist, son of a ^%&^% hands you a
piece of cake but won't let you eat it??? In fact, it's the ONLY way you can eat
your cake is if you have it first. If you don't have it, you have nothing to
eat!
Now consider the other way around - try to eat your cake and have it too. NOW we
run into a clear problem... you've eaten the cake; it's gone; you can't have it
anymore (not without regurgitating it, which is another issue altogether). See?
Makes a lot more sense than the other way around.
People saying "have your cake and eat it too" bugs me almost as much
as people saying "yes" when someone asks if they mind. Really? Yes,
they do mind? Most people mean to say "no," they DON'T mind. Two areas
most people say the OPPOSITE of what makes sense to a rational, thinking
person.
