I wished that people would stop focusing on exteriors so much and dealt with others based on merit rather than looks, age, height, weight.

There is a notable difference between those characteristics and the sartorial. That will be left as an exercise for the reader.

Nobody said anything about looks, age, height or weight.

That's very specifically about looks.

No, it's about what people wear.

Which is all about what they look like, really you're being pedantic beyond irritation.

The distinction, and its relevance, are obvious. If you're going to feign ignorance I have better things to do with my day than argue with you about it.

Then why do you argue about it?

Yes, there is a distinction, no it is not relevant. Just like to a blind person it would not matter what you wore so therefore 'looks' and 'what you are wearing' are closely related, related enough to both be used in this context.

So you say that what someone wears does not contribute to how someone looks.

That's quite the impressive opinion. Do you eat soup with a fork?
