If you say these things, but means something else, that's on you to adapt your communication, not on me to intuit your message. > But achieving that in shell language is so much harder than it needs to be. So, as an exercise, how about replicating this pipeline in python: seq 0 9 | xargs printf "%02i\n" | xargs -I% -P0 ssh -A dev%-useast1 "docker ps -a | grep -vE '(second|minute)s ago' | tail -n +2 | awk '{ print $1 }' | tee >( xargs --no-run-if-empty docker rm -f ) >( xargs -I% echo -e 'USER docker-reaper guest mode :Docker Reaper\nNICK docker-reaper\nJOIN #channel\nPRIVMSG #channel :removing % on $(hostname)\nQUIT\n' | nc irc.example.net 6667" )" > removed_containers

For that, it doesn't matter if you "just" left out important parts, or actively changed words. That kind of behaviour removes not just the bases of an insightful dicussion, but of any other form of communication as well.

  > It is socially unacceptable to misquote. No it's not. If your defense against writing a terrible thing is, "you have to understand it in context", it's still a terrible thing you wrote. Plus: it's ableist! You're putting the burden on the audience to hear/read your words without error, and to deduce your meaning correctly. I eagerly await your translation of that pipeline.
