"That you feel so attacked demonstrates my point."

Hi! Just in case you failed to notice. The OP has a very high score and your reply has a very negative score. This demonstrates the lack of value others received from your post.

Oh. By the way. You found something that your opinion deemed to be an error. No one agreed with you that it was an actual error. So what you did is you disregarded this otherwise highly rated post because of your opinion, without even verifying that your opinion was truth.

You provided no additional value to this subject and instead used this as an opportunity to espouse your own dogma, which completely missed the point of this highly rated post: that people have misconceptions, not that they are unworthy of being taught.
