Does your point appreciably change the meaning of the argument? Definietely not, even a 10-second delay is too long for emergencies. There are times where that five-second difference matters but I feel this falls into a bad-faith argument.

- _ea1k 4y agoI'd bet that 10 seconds is still less than the human reaction time.
- google234123 4y agoA 10 or 30 second delay is the probably the difference between an emergency driver that likes to speed and one that does not.
- droopyEyelids 4y ago"Bad Faith" is when someone is consciously trying to deceive you. It's not a superlative like 'really' or 'very'. If the point someone is trying to make is bad, inaccurate, or unconvincing that doesn't mean it's made in bad faith. It's actually less likely to be in bad faith.
- zinekeller 4y agoWhile there are people who are indeed nitpicky, unfortunately I do think that it crossed the line. The specific time is not the main message: the point is that extra time hinders emergency response, and it can be reasonably interpreted that "half a minute" is a granular measurement.
