That wasn't until ~3 rounds of back-and-forth!

You asked for clarification once, and Luke gave a satisfactory response. How do you get "~3 rounds" from that?

I just said why the previous answers weren't as helpful.

There was no reason for you to do that, you got an answer that addressed those concerns.

And while the desire for a citation may have been satisfied, the entire point was to reveal the level of understanding which led to his claim about the TDT paper, and that issue was not satisfied by lukeprog's responses.

Notice how Nesov, by focusing back on the object level after the issue of communicating citations was resolved, was able to deal with in this comment.
