I'm simply saying I think the policy you're proposing is bad. It is completely bizarre to me you're trying to frame that as a semantic argument.

I'm not saying it's a semantic argument. I'm saying that the policy isn't universal, whereas your argument appears to hinge on me thinking that it is. But this seems to have run its course.

That's a semantic argument.

Me saying your proposed policy is bad is in no way predicated on any assumption you intended it to be "universal". Quite the opposite: the last thing anybody needs at work is yet another poorly justified bullshit policy they have to constantly request an "exception" to to do their job...
