These are the four simple lines that I wrote above:
>Solid questions and comments, layer8.
>I notice that the person you replied to has not replied to you yet.
>It may be that they will, of course.
>But your points are good.
(Italics mine, and they were not in my original comment.)
You, above:
>when they replied almost immediately after with a video of the relevant workflow,
I did check the time intervals between the top level comment and layer8's comment, before my first reply. It is over an hour now, so I cannot see the exact times in minutes any more, but IIRC, there was a fairly long gap (in minutes). And I also think I noticed that the top level person did reply to someone else, but not to layer8, by the time I wrote my comment.
So I don't see anything wrong in what I said. I even said that they may reply later.
You consider that to be:
>"Not-so-subtly mocking"?
Jeez. I think you are wrong.
Then I have nothing further to say to you, except this:
>was not a move that made you look smart or nice.
Trying to look smart or nice is not the goal in online discussions. At least, I don't think so. You appear to think that. The goal (to me) is to say what you think, otherwise, why write at all? I could just get an LLM to write all my comments, and not care about its hallucinations.
I don't try to be smart or nice, nor the reverse. I just put my considered thoughts out there, just like anyone else. Obviously I can be right or wrong, just like anyone else can be. And some points can be subjective, so cannot be said to be definitely either right or wrong.
