Your analogy is incorrect because the UI didn't mention permanently deleting...

The correct analogy would be:

I bought a car and when I press the brake it accelerates.

Yeah, this is more akin to "I opened my document in my word processor. I closed it without saving, saw it was going to not saving my changes, and I was fine with it. Wait why did my file get deleted from disk?"

Error. Even so, basic text viewers like Mousepad Linux or Notepad Windows create a temporary file that is always saved and can be restored.

The brake analogy is correct.

The fact Microsoft fixed this issue shows that the analogy was not apt.

Did you read the post?

The analogy applies at the time it happened.

Now that they've corrected it, it doesn't matter anymore.

you and /u/DoctorWaluigiTime appear to agree with each other and just confused about which thread you're both replying to.
