Glad that they found it, but I don't think that changes the point. The "usual places" is just one or two places on each model, and bomb sites are messy. They could have been diligent and not found it. You were expressing a certainty that wasn't warranted, and in a way that was slightly disparaging to those actually on the ground doing the work.
- evan_ 6y agoMy “should” was intended in the sense of “I’m optimistic that they would find it”, not “if they don’t find it it’s because they didn’t try hard enough.” “You should find carrots in the produce section”, not “you should wash your hands after sneezing”. If I wanted to convey that tone I should have italicized it or used asterisks. That should have carried my intention more accurately.
