So we "simply can't know" whether the title should be taken at face value, but at the same time the parent's point is a "useless nitpick" because it's irrelevant to the main point of the article. Nice.

If we "simply can't know" what the point is, then how do you decide what's relevant?

Yarg. I _knew_ I shouldn't have included the 'useless nitpick' line as it was needlessly aggressive.

But to respond: No, not at the same time. As I said in the edit, the title slipped my mind. Without the title it came across as a useless nitpick, with the title it does not even if I find it an uninteresting avenue of discussion.
