What does any of that have to do with what I said?

To be honest it's more an elaboration on the ongoing discussion which I was mulling over and posted in reply to your comment because it happened to be the most recent response to one of my posts.

It is an attempt to explain why I don't think the overall discussion about precise language in this context is fruitful. I've clearly passed my previously mentioned tolerance threshold for this sort of thing though so I should probably walk away and think calming thoughts for a while.
