That's like saying "my meal begins from the time I start driving to the restaurant". It's just not true.

It’s more like saying your meal begins when you sit down at the table, which is a proposition that a lot of people would agree with.

Certainly every chef-run fine dining restaurant would agree with that.

It's nothing like that, but you're entitled to be confused and wrong.

Technically it's okay to be confused and wrong, but it is not really okay to be vocal about it. It just steals people's time. Maybe it is deliberate trolling, how should we know? Better to be moderated out

Incorrect. A rest is as important to music as a note.
