That feeling when you spend hours reducing a problem to its simplest form and then the experts pile in to your IRC / mailing list / ticket system / stack overflow post to explain that you must be suffering from the XY problem because your ultimate goal couldn't possibly be to do what the minimized program does.
Naturally, they didn't read the part at the top where you explain your ultimate goal.
Two days later you make a new post favoring contextual detail over brevity and the same experts pile in to complain that you didn't minimize your example.
