So, according to the story, CR made two mistakes:

1)They used the default browser supplied by Apple

and

2) They found a bug in Apple’s software.

Apple’s apologist goes a bit over the top with this defense.

You misquoted the actual facts, deliberately, I think.

CR also deliberately TURNED OFF SEVERAL SPECIFIC OPERATING SYSTEM FUNCTIONS which then crippled the OS's ability to function correctly because they DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW UNIX™ and Apple's macOS SYSTEMS WORK! For the simple reason THEY DO NOT WORK THE SAME AS WINDOWS PCs.

CR made an ignorant, erroneous assumption that bit them in the ass.

They used the same test standards for everyone. I’ll agree that CR was wrong if Apple puts a sticker on each box saying that they are entitled to the special ed modified test instead of the standard test given to the rest of the class.

I’m quite sure that Apple could design a test they could pass. Or they could change out the default browser. Or better yet, they could modify Puppy Linux to run on their hardware and use it instead of the Apple OS, and probably double battery life.
