Right, wrong, whatever. The one thing every sane person can agree on is that it's a good thing the Luddites didn't prevail.
How much did you pay for the shirt you're wearing now?
I'd have been ok if things fell more in their direction... I'm not saying "clear win", but a middle ground that had the machines do the things they're best at while letting humans do the quality work.

By arguing for letting humans work, particularly quality work, you're not especially finding a middle ground, more adopting the 1811 position of the OG Luddites who were opposed to being put out of work.

Yeah, that's a fine sentiment in the general, but let's hear some specifics.
I think two sane things.
1) It’s good in the long run that they didn’t prevail at that time.
2) They did actually, in fact, have a point.
