Hm. I'm sorry, it wasn't meant to be a flamebait. Also, can you please clarify about tangents? Looked up for a translation of the word 'tangent' and the meaning is still unclear. (English is not my first language)

In the idiom, a tangent is a branching divergence from the main conversation; it's related to that conversation, but is taking it in a new direction. Tangents are fine, and often good, but we are careful about them here when they lead into predictable off-topic arguments.

I'm aware of your posts and I stand by my assertion.

You can add the worst "ostensibly" if it makes you feel better.
