for the record, i thought the file structure wasn't a big deal, not the conversation. the conversation is just funny lol
also i disagree with you - putting the contents of an archive into a folder is redundant because the archive a container itself already. it also theoretically makes extracting files loosely more annoying if they're already in a folder (although that is probably also solved by software at this point lol)
it really is just a preference, so find a way that works the best for you. that's why there are as many different programs and that's why they all have various configuration options - to give people options. i found a solution for me and haven't had to think about how my files are unzipping for years now lol
regardless of how you handle the archives, though, keep arguing, because its a fun read and im enjoying
