Oh brilliant. Compare something shit to something good.
Equally, Kobe beef is better than macdonalds.
The key, that you usefully missed, is that both flash/html5 are/will be as good as the same in terms of DELIVERING VIDEO.

Again, no one is denying that.

Yes it is. Again, no one appears to be denying that?
