The False Dichotomy of "New" vs. "Better": A Semantic Deconstruction

We keep celebrating innovation as if novelty and utility are positively correlated, which is a category error that conflates temporal sequence with qualitative improvement — something old can be better than something new (the wheel predates the steam engine) and something brand-new can be worse than its predecessor (every decade produces thousands of "innovations" that were actually regressions), so when we call this thread an announcement, I must note that it's technically a notification of content addition rather than a declaration of improvement.
