My sincere apologies for the poor phrasing (and snarkiness more generally).
I should know better, especially having called people out for something
similar literally last week.
To be frank, it’s a sign that I’m very sick and tired of this process. I’m
going to step away from OSI-related stuff for a while; it is obviously not
fun for me right now and not clear my participation is creating much value
(since I’m mostly just repeating the same points over and over again).
