Why is it a mistake? Why do you think this means anything other than "Since 2002" or similar?
While the expression can mean "Since <name an="" even="" more="" extreme="" event="">"
there's no grammatical reason why it has to be anything other than a
cutoff date, and in my experience both forms are used interchangably.
Eh? You're right - there is no grammatical reason. Your statement could
still be true (factually / gramatically) even if ending support
for the Blink tag
was a really stupid idea - by being the most
idiotic idea after that event.
But we all have a duty </name>not <name an="" even="" more="" extreme="" event="">to
imply things we know to be false when we talk. When we lie, we
state/imply things we know to be false. If I say, "This is the coldest
winter since 1962", I imply that the winter of 1962 was colder than
this one. If it wasn't, and it's just that this winter is colder than
the winters of 1963 onwards, I have misled the person into believing
something false. Otherwise known as lying.
So, either you were lying to us or you think ending support for the
blink tag was a really doozy of an idea. Or you just plain made a
mistake and can't admit it.
