No, the comment did make it sound like it was PG’s resilience that saved the data. In fact that seems to be the whole point of the comment.

So the snark does seem out of place and the clarification useful.

Is it really constructive to throw insults[1]? I explained myself above, after all.

[1] I had to look it up to see what it means: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_knight. Since we aren't in a business context, I can only assume that you think I am female :-)
