...because the functionality everyone wants is on Reddit but the functionality everyone decries is everywhere else. You don't provide an example in the negative to prove a positive point:

"Why can't I have flan at this Chinese restaurant?"

"Because it's not a Mexican restaurant, it's a Chinese restaurant. That's why there are chopsticks at your plate."

"But we're at PF Chang's, not Pick Up Sticks! Chopsticks anger me! Where's my flan?"

If Person C wants Person B's opinion on something, he should probably shout Person B out, rather than waiting for the stars to align.
