Maybe, but i don't read your example and the original statement the same. It was literally "Inject more energy into the system" - not just make me retain my own energy longer, but add heat - as with a heater, or something. Ie i wouldn't think you adding a blanket on me is "injecting heat into my body", but that's the root of my question - how adding heat vs reducing heat loss are scientifically similar, how they're worded, etc.
Anyway i'm not trying to be difficult, i assumed the OPs wording was correct, i was just seeking understanding. Which was downvoted, oddly enough.
- klyrs 3y agoUnfortunately, your participation here has been to ask a very naive question about a distinction without a material difference. While it is probably not your intent, your behavior is a little too close to that of a sea lion[1] which is probably explains the frosty reception of your question.

- unshavedyak 3y agoYea, that was my fear - and source of my meta-comment in the original post. TBH i should just avoid these discussions entirely. I've found GPT-likes to be very fruitful to ask questions where i'm too lacking in information to even adequately research it myself. Either way, appreciate your contribution to this little digression. Thanks for your time, have a great day!
