...yes, these are all true statements and you should use correct descriptions of you want to be understood.

- calling pirates thieves is a leap that will undermine your argument by assuming harm that's not shown - have any serious discussion about Frankenstein's morality while confusing him with his monster and no one will understand you - I write this from a Linux device, but because it is an Android/Linux device is has a completely different experience than a GNU/Linux system, and you can have that experience on GNU/kFreeBSD or GNU/NT just as well.

Semantics matter. Words make a difference. Please don't miscommunicate just because misunderstanding helps your side in an argument.

What do you think my side is and of what argument

It's a shorthand which I'm sure everyone else understood. Sorry if you were confused.

Speaking implicitly doesn't do well these days, it seems.
