The only people unclear on this point are people who have failed to do even the most basic research into what GDPR says. It is blindingly obvious that an email is information that can be used to identify a person.

I'm not arguing with you. If it is clear, then it suggests people saying it is not clear are basically trolls. Surely you can see that telling an apparent troll to admit being a troll is unproductive. You might be right, or you might be wrong, but you can't win that debate because it's about inner motivations and perceptions and not verifiable facts.

Whether something is clear or not is not dependent on whether a specific person knows it.

A reasonable person who is even minimally informed about GDPR will know that an email address is covered by GDPR, hence it is "clear".
