I think the idea is to convey that just like a bell has no natural link to food anticipation of which causes salivation, the fact that x has always (at least as far as we remember) come with y which causes z means when we see x, we fear z will happen even though x and y need not necessarily have to come together?
I believe there are people who won’t forgive text drive / Joyent for their dishonesty and sincerely we must never trust the leadership at Joyent with anything as long as they roam the earth.
Pavlovian conditioning [0]:
"a learning procedure in which a biologically potent stimulus (e.g. food) is paired with a previously neutral stimulus (e.g. a bell)."
In my case:
food: losing all my data (or it becoming incredibly difficult to access / control / afford)
bell: uploading all of my data to a new internet product.

Most companies have unsustainable business models (grow forever).
For startups, this is especially true (rapid growth forever).
This is a new internet company, but their whole shtick is that they have a sustainable business model. Given that data, maybe my bias is unfair.
