in reply to Re^13: Scalar context of slice (rules)
in thread Scalar context of slice

I'm sorry for making assumptions about your line of thought, but you've done the same to multiple other people in this very thread

Communicating without assumptions is laborious, perhaps impossible. I was annoyed at you for stating assumptions about my emotional state, especially in a dismissive manner.

You appear -- and I'm trying hard not to assume this so please correct me if my interpretation of your writing is incorrect -- you appear to be saying that anyone on PerlMonks should be assumed to be ready for the most straightforward explanation

It appears that you may be way over-thinking this. I saw an explanation given that included unnecessary complication and that complication also had the distinct disadvantage of having lead other people into problems. I pointed out the conflict in this added complication. The author didn't understand. I tried to highlight the trouble with it a different way. Not much to this.

When points were expressed to refute my assertions about these conflicts or to criticize the accuracy of my explanations, then I responded to them. Several other criticism and arguments were also thrown in that I tried to mostly ignore. The assertion of there being advocation of "there is one true abstraction" was one such tangential point made and I already noted that I have not been proposing such. So, no, I'm not proposing "one true explanation" to be used for any PerlMonk.

As for the rest of your post above, I have read it. It mostly convinces me that you did not "get" most of my points (which, just to be clear, is not something I would choose to blame you for) and so futher discussion seems unlikely to result in an increase of understanding between us so I will likely choose to not spend more time on such.
