This fails at the “call them up” step. Nobody you get on the phone is going to understand or care about any of this.



They might, best-case-scenario, just be listening for keywords, and actually think I want to do a rollout. It's kind of sad one has to think this way, and I wouldn't push things to the point of actively deceiving, but what if something like the above worked?

I admittedly don't care about any of it either. My goal would be to introduce chinks in the armor in the arguments presented and try and carry that as far as possible in the hope a solution presents itself. The idea in the GP popped into my head as one entirely-throwaway potential solution to that bigger-picture problem. It's quite possible a different approach may work better.


You don't tell them it's Android-x86 until you get escalated, I suppose.


At which point they'd say "Android-x86 is not Android" and hang up.


Ironically, AOSP has an x86 build target.


You can be as right as you want once they hang up.


And there were actual phones shipping Android on Atom (i.e. x86) CPUs.
