Quote: "Limiting the range of Taurus & Co technically is like forbidding the football players of the national team to enter the opponent's turf on the field or to take penalties.
What comparisons can you think of?
Only wrong answers."
Die Reichweite von #Taurus & Co technisch zu limitieren ist wie den Fußballspielern der Nationalmannschaft zu verbieten, die Spielfeldhälfte des Gegners zu betreten oder Elfmeter zu schießen.
