I’m not combatting anything… I am just offering my perspective that I think your OP is stronger on its own. The sub-thread digressions betray your unfamiliarity with the topic and your narcissistic nature rather than reinforce your OP. Take it or leave it, it’s just an internet opinion.
If you can't relay someone's point as you understand it, there's little reason to weigh in, and even less for that person to try and clarify it. It comes across as a need to argue, rather than a desire to understand.
