Sure, I would happily edit my post with the added context if HN would let me (the post is too old to edit now), and yet I would leave the rest of my post unedited because I don't feel it changes anything. You're obviously frustrated, and feel I extracted a snippet from its context to fit my narrative. Unfortunately that's not the case.

No, I feel you extracted a snippet from the grammatical structures it was part of, producing something that only appeared to be a full sentence by coincidence. You didn't leave out context, you left out the sentence you were supposedly quoting, and substituted a different one. Imagine me quoting your comment here in the form > if HN would let me... I would leave Is the problem really that I left out some context?
