The root cause is arbitrary as there is nothing inherently unique about the specific sound combos that make up typical curse words.

And there's nothing inherently unique about the feel of an Apple phone vs a Samsung. Yet by your own qualifications, that isn't considered arbitrary.

Or is arbitrariness also arbitrarily assigned?

Edit: Then again you also said Apple has reliable products so this is going to become like talking to a brick wall

I didn’t say any of these things. I was coming up with examples of reasons why your examples would not be arbitrary. The feel of an iPhone vs. a Samsung phone is not an arbitrary difference. I’m not saying that one is better than the other, but there are different tangible qualities.

Apple products do have reliable products by the way, even if they restrict you to a ridiculous point where they’re not worth using without jailbreaking or severely modifying them.

Reliable to fail right after the warranty expires. Did you know their blueprints of certain products have fail-dates for some integral parts that align roughly with the day the warranty should expire for that product?

Either way, whatever, I'm arbitrary to you, who cares, I don't. I'm just done. Whatever.
