I don't think it necessarily does come in! I just think you have to be careful about this stuff, and the comment you wrote wasn't careful. I wouldn't care, except it spawned a gnarly thread --- that thread is what I noticed first, not anything you wrote.

For future reference, and as an example, how would you recommend I rephrase my comment to preclude gnarlification?

I think if you literally just struck the first clause, you'd have a fine comment. I'm not the boss of you, though!
