Another standards battle to entrench intellectual property and

So exactly as I had predicted, Craig denied having been negative wrt HDR
algorithms, until, that is, Apple was mentioned as a possible player. At which
point, the idea became "interesting."
I may well have said at some point that there are multiple
proposals for the HDR standard.
You were negative about another royalties battle, as you always are about
royalty battles, as you have been very many times relating to ATSC 1.0, and
much more recently ATSC 3.0. Nothing wrong with that, if you're consistent,
even if it's naïve. Nor would I have commented, except for the rather obvious
about-face. So here we are, belaboring the obvious to death.
The article was interesting Bert; especially the implications
when compared to the color TV standard. I started out by
asking everyone to ignore the Apple Fan Boys component of the
article.
Really? Even that isn't the case. I picked up right away that the article was
written by someone who was trying to give Apple some role in 4K TV, even if not
to make any TV. Instead, this is what you said, which I responded on 12 Feb
02:33:31. Pay attention to the ACTUAL exchange, Craig:

This is a very interesting article...not a Apple "Fan Boy" piece.
It is about technology leverage and the future of TV.
[To which I replied, Craig,]
Just another company potentially looking for royalties, Craig. Nothing unusual
at all. The author of this piece is trying to find a role for Apple,

I read, "not a(n) Apple Fan Boy piece," from you, Craig. Sometimes, it's truly
best not to continue arguing.
