So in your response that you linked to you said this only happens when the first option is checked and somebody purposefully enters in the scripts they want to do this to. However, the same developer who initially brought this up put out a video showing that this also happens when another setting is checked.
So, uh, is this true? And if so, why is it doing this?

@davidanderson the weak point is in the video linked by @thekendog
The interaction with page-speed tools ONLY appears in “Defer selected Javascript files” feature’s description. You should ALSO add it to “Defer all the Javascript files”, which also interact with page-speed tools.
The job can be done with a slight change to the UI. There at least are 2 ways:
1. Don’t make that description disappearing when switching between option;
2. Include the interaction with page-speed tools to both feature’s description.
That’s a classic “bait and switch” of what’s being talked about.
The competitor made a public allegation that WP-Optimize *deliberately* intends to *deceive* PageSpeed-like tools, and that this is a reason to abandon us as evil and buy their products instead.
We have refuted that comprehensively. Now the competitor wants to pretend that judging part of the UI confusing (rightly or wrongly) is the same thing.
No. We will look at the UI as part of our normal development processes (and you can consider that issue lodged in our task tracker to be looked at). But we’re not going to get sucked into a public spat on the basis of a “bait and switch” with a competitor like that.
Since, as I say, the issue you’ve raised will be looked at as a normal development item and we’re not up for anything more than that, I am marking this topic as resolved, and thank you for your interest in the products we try to produce.
