The mods are the ones who put it here, and they've said they will not remove it, regardless of how bad of an idea it was.

No details. Knowing the IDF, I'd say it's also very possible that they went in guns blazing and shot the hostages too. Wouldn't be the first time: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-troops-killed-hostages-mistaking-their-cries-help-ambush-military-2023-12-28/

If it was that quick, it was definitely a general.

Quotation marks are not only used for direct quotations, despite the name. The question is valid.

Yes, that was just an example. Good keyboards and proper handling don't have that issue any more.

The count is from web visits somehow, so I don't think so. You'd have to visit a web site that was contributing data for it to count.

Yes, but the game doesn't necessarily even see those inputs. What a keyboard transmits, and how the OS handles it, is a complicated process with a bunch of legacy handling code. Often, if you're pressing more than one key, the keyboard might send only one of them.

I remember in one game I used to play, I would hold W to go forward, and shift to boost, but if I wanted to turn left or right, only adding D would be recognized. Pressing A would do nothing at all, no turning left.

Avoidable yes, should never happen yes, but what purpose does prison serve here?

The article doesn't explain it, but it sounds like the keyboards are detecting a transition from A to D and making it happen faster, instead of having a momentary dead zone while both are pressed. That's definitely getting an advantage from something out-of-game, which is cheating.
