Reducing it to "nitpicking" is fundamentally misunderstanding the content of the comment, and goes to show the truth of the criticism regarding the myopic nature of the perspective you are peddling.

The entirety of the point that was made is "people are different and have different opinions" which is a retort to a clumsily-framed statement serving primarily as rhetoric and not fact. Shooting semantic fish in the rhetorical barrel is what makes people "no fun at parties" and something that has become a stereotype -- no, a meme -- on HN.

That is only a superficial understanding. What you left out is the manipulative hubris of your clumsy rhetoric pretending to command some kind of hegemony of opinion. It is no surprise to see a continuation of that in the further comments.
