I'd already made that point by excluding games from my statement. When someone says except for X, bla bla bla, you don't respond by saying yea but I do X.
But you can respond by going "But it's silly to exclude X from discussion". Which is why I have been trying (and, evidently failing) to convey.
I didn't exclude X from the discussion, I excluded it from my criticism; that means I already agree X is good for games and there's no reason to bring it up.
