that back up his "95% bad" claim. But unless I'm missing a "turn on segmented patch cords" checkbutton buried in a menu somewhere, I believe this is the end of the argument.
The claim has been used for a long time, to justify why pd doesn't have this feature. Even though Pd doesn't have it, MAX has it, and this is what people here refer to when they talk about segmented patch cords (most of the time).

I started at the top, checked the help for all the objects under "symbols" and "A". Thirty-five help docs with 27 segmented patch cords, and _none_ of them are ambiguous.
So what exactly are people referring to, other than some anecdotal evidence about some students somewhere who made some patches with some segmented patch cords that they thought looked bad?
