it’s literally the edge case, and insignificant to the actual point being made. you excused like a few thousand uses of the straw, maybe. don’t excuse the thousands of metric tons thrown out every year

    edge cases are more important than the average person, fire alarms saving someone's life is an edge case the default is going off for no reason.

    what are you talking about?

    the equivalent use in your example would be the fire department getting an alarm for every building in the world multiple times a day being ok, because they might show up right when a fire breaks out!

    again, you are justifying thousands of pounds of land waste for the very few who might need to use a straw due to some medical issue.

    it would be better to not use straws, and just have them purchasable by those who need them for medical reasons.
