With apologies, I do not believe you are discussing this in good faith, and I think the distinction I am drawing is clear enough.

Fwiw I think the parent of your comment asked a very reasonable question and it's not really clear what distinction you are drawing from your GP comment.

Your second sentence is more hostile than needed.

One of the reasons I ask Tom these questions that he is one of the more rational folks on HN, particularly on other issues. It's pretty clear that he realizes he made a mistake, hence the deflection. Making a mostly rational person feel attacked is only likely inhibit their logical mind.

Just respond with a clear answer if there is a distinction. Don't resort to ad homs.
