Why provide a TLDR section that you feel doesn't accurately represent what you said?

If I wanted to repeat each word and include all the nuance the TL;DR would fail to be a TL;DR. It would be a repetition. If I thought I could fit eight paragraphs of my thoughts into a single paragraph without losing nuance, I wouldn't take eight paragraphs to express my points.
The point of a summary is to get rid of formalities for the sake of brevity. I feel I summarized my points well and accurately, and the purpose was to save time for those who do not wish to read 8 paragraphs. The trade off is that any formality and nuance is lost in the summary - and you took that lack of formality and ran with it by putting words that weren't there in the summary.
Please don't skim read. I see we're done here.

>I care about whether the food I eat contains beef, but I don't think that you or anyone else is ignorant for not caring. As if I only had to educate you about the proper Hindu way and then you'd recognize that it mattered after all.
I disagree. I'd be ignorant as to why I should care. What if I tried to feed you beef and didn't understand why you became angry with me? Obviously this is a problem of my ignorance - fixed by education. Ignorance is not a bad thing. People cannot be expected to know everything.
