No, what you did was infer "a couple perl scripts" meant "a box", as though it's not possible to geodistribute perl scripts. The entire point of the post you replied to was expressing amazement that this task could even warrant someone's entire job, because in many, many IT departments around the world, monitoring is both taken seriously and not nearly as expensive as PagerDuty. It's a valid opinion, and your faux-Socratic response came off as needlessly condescending, that's all. And if you read June's outage report, they are in multiple AZs... and it didn't help.
