> Since you didn't understand that, I gave you an allegory. If that doesn't help, and this doesn't help, well, don't know where we can go from here.

It was a metaphor, not allegory. And literally no one understood it. I only saw your comment because I was briefly reminded of this discourse after some other community sites found your attempt at metaphor and mocked it in front of a wide audience.

Not the outcome I was hoping for, but I hope that the exposure helps you get your message of "I do what I want and don't have to prove anything to anyone" when writing code. I look forward to seeing how that helps your professional reputation.
