Imagine this scenario: - You have an uncle with skin cancer. You bump into an oncologist at a party. You ask some technical questions. Annoying lady cuts in and starts talking about essential oils. Oncologist wanders off. - You're an armchair general (a nerd who has never been in the army, but reads a lot), and you bump into a government intelligence analyst who studies the situation in Ukraine. It's a goldmine! Someone who read an article on Fox News cuts in and starts lecturing you on Putin. It's not even quite wrong, but it's so shallow it's pointless. The analyst wanders off. That's basically how I read your intervention. I didn't ask you for free training or anything else. I asked rsync a question. You decided to butt into a conversation uninvited, without having anything to contribute, figured you knew more on the topic than a cloud storage provider, and proceeded to deliver a lecture at the level of what my child might learn in their grade school IT class. I'm not claiming to be brilliant, but I don't get why people like you do that. I think that's a place you could provide a more interesting insight than about anything technical. (And to answer your question: I wrote a question and not an essay; an extreme example is often just a concise way of phrasing something like this)
