It genuinely saddens me that you look at this minute expenditure of my time and effort and see it as some great artifice made purely for self-aggrandizement. It is not. I am legitimately trying to communicate, and this is how I normally do it.

Understand also that what you try to dismiss as semantics the the core of philosophy, and philosophy is the crux of what we are debating here.
