Why do you think it's "blindingly clear"? If you're going to use such strong language, it should be easy to present your argument in a more convincing way. Others disagree with you - I think calling them wrong without so much as a single line to suggest why is very much "being a baby". You think others should just agree with you because it's what YOU think - my five year old niece seems to think this way as well.
- dymk 5y agoThe person I'm responding to acknowledges that "is a" & "acts like a" are equivalent in the context of the article. If somebody is getting hung up on something as nit-picky as that, they're not going to see the forest for the trees in an article like this. Ironically, playing nit-picky semantics games like this is the kind of avoidant attitude that lead people astray from personal growth.
