You seem to think ... Noone said

The document says: "commutativity breakage". I adjusted the tense of that to fit with the tense of my sentence.

If you cannot make that leap of inference, perhaps you shouldn't...

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

    Are you claiming you changed the tense of commutativity (a noun) or of breakage (also a noun)?

    It's not what happened.

    Where the docs talk of the breakage of the commutativity of the smart match operator,
    you talk of the commutativity of the breakage of the smart match operator. That's nonsense.

    In short, broken commutativity != commutatively broken

    (I guess English grammar isn't commutative.)

      Ah! So you can infer my meaning...

        Apparently not. I thought you just misread. Are you saying you were deliberately misquoting?

        If you're playing games, they're going over my head.
