        Because you’re bitching about it. Either there’s a better way to express the precise picture you’re describing, or your central argument is fundamentally flawed, and it’s an effective shorthand.

        Sure, there’s nuance. Shorthand is used to convey a nuanced thought quickly. That’s literally the point.

          Lol “bitching” about it.

          Weird logic. Pointing out something that isn’t accurate but gets parroted anyways means I need to come up with a better thing to parrot.

            There’s no logic here. You’re right and they’re just throwing a tantrum because it means they’re wrong.
