I will give you credit, you have an art for writing absolutely infuriating comments. How is it that you manage to so perfectly encapsulate the exact thing you baselessly accuse one of doing?

> You’re shadowboxing against a claim that the person you replied to never made.

You start with this, and then immediately lead into:

> Communication is more than the simple dictionary definitions of the words being written.

> that you should always make it denotatively clear to readers when you’re going your opinion and when you’re globally asserting something)

Neither of which are claims I made. At no point did I engage in the dictionary-definition pedantry that plagues this site. I was specifically highlighting how the sentiments they expressed in their message come together as a whole. An accusation that one "forgot to take basic principles into account" cannot possibly be construed in any way other than insulting. That phrase denies the possibility that the OP considered readability but consciously chose to make a trade-off in alignment with their own values, asserts the author's view as a matter of principle, and denigrates the person who "forgot" to consider it.

> you are yourself asserting your opinion about subjective communications as fact

Insofar as words have any meaning whatsoever, I am observing a fact about how they chose to communicate. If you really want to play the stupid game the people of this forum love where you play at the margins of language endlessly redefining everything into meaninglessness to score points in an argument, you can count me out.
