I think you have it wrong. Here's why-
I paid for FSD and was very satisfied for what it did at the time I paid. It will be nice when it does more. I later volunteered to be a beta test pilot and do the testing as a volunteer. That work did not require me nor expect me to make excuses for the work in progress that in my opinion failed to work. You seem to feel I don't understand that it is a work in progress. But I surely do. While most of my career I worked in industry as an engineer and owned my own business for a number of years, I also taught at the college level part time. But aside from my past experience, nowhere in my agreement to be a beta tester was I expected to make excuses for what doesn't work. I'm here to both learn what others are experiencing and offer my observations. When I had a student do poorly on a test he failed. When I saw the whole class did poorly then I failed.
