Of distracting from the actual topic by needlessly fixating on an only tangentially relevant detail? Yeah, I'm kooky like that.
Sure, but that's not what you're doing. You're, deliberately or not, pulling all attention away from the message by demanding a fix to something that, in the specific case, is unimportant.
As I said before, being more exact would invite MORE distracting arguments about it, not fewer.
You're also not trying to NOT distract from the message either, though. Or you are and you're doing a piss-poor job of it.
It was told just fine. You're actively obscuring the salient point with your pedantry.
Ok my friend. If I have distracted from the message, that is genuinely not my intention. I'll leave things here.
Fair. Have a nice day 🙂
