Yeah I think I agree with all of this, so I do think most of this was miscommunication/interpretation.
the combativeness did also make me a little sad.
Sorry about that, I think my comments often come across as more negative than I intend, I try to remember to take a step back afterwards and rewrite things to be nicer, but I often forget or don’t realize in the moment its necessary.
It’s okay! I share your aversion to people just flatly declaring things to be impossible due to their own blinders, and I can see how my post was interpreted that way. Next time, I’ll pay more attention to my instinct to add stuff like what I put in my reply to you directly in the LW version of one of my blog posts.
