Yeah, but you doing that is unhelpful. It is confusing people because that is not a reasonable place to find criticism with the argument. Too much precision is not helpful in arguments and the CIA literally ran propaganda programs to get people to try to bog down any discussion of communism with meaningless minutiae. So, do better or something.
It is helpful because it's not about having too much precision, he made a bullshit argument and I found it ridiculous.
Look at the replies? Was it really helpful? No. I am glad you found it emotionally validating but that is not reason enough do to all that.
