Please don't post in the cross-examining style. We want curious conversation here.

I don't follow. The author dismissively ctrl-V'd a paragraph with no further explanation, and my response asking for elaboration gets shadow-buried by a mod. What?

Your post wasn't simply asking for elaboration—it was written in the cross-examining style that we particularly want to avoid here because it kills curious conversation.

If you didn't intend to come across like an interrogator trying to back an opponent into the corner, then your comment needed to be written quite differently.
