Because someone earlier had mentioned the lack of a package manager as a 
flaw. I was pointing out that neither lack nor presence of a package 
manager is a flaw.

Here's an idea: don't argue with the person making the statement when 
they tell you what they intended the statement to mean. Feel free to 
misinterpret the statement when it's poorly worded, but when 
clarification is forthcoming, to insist that your interpretation of what 
the person meant to say is somehow more accurate than what the speaker 
intended to say is counterproductive.
