Khai - what is your problem? It's a simple point.

Somebody who has enough RAM - not swapping, not starving for space for the other apps they want to run, will experience no benefit by spending to still more RAM.

With RAM there is such a thing as "enough". After that, it is not providing any benefit.

All I'm trying to establish is that I would prefer to that people who are asking for help on system choices be given accurate statements.

The bald, unqualified statement "more is better" is not accurate, except when "not enough yet" is the current state. Many people have 8 GB of RAM and all they do is portraits. Advising such individuals to get more, no matter what, is a disservice.

And a straw man is defined here:

It's what you did. You transformed my argument into "4 GB is enough", which is not at all what I said.

I think if you're already at 24 GB, more is not better.
