I agree with everything in your comment except the idea that we disagree.
Yes. You’re right.
I do think about potential objections. If an objection is valid then I fix what I wrote. If an objection is plausible-sounding widely-believed and invalid then I ignore it.
You’re right.
You’re right. I don’t understand what’s different between your software library analogy and my DLL analogy. The idea that you should quote someone when “you can’t come up with any better way to phrase the exact point” is something I almost included in my original post before deciding against. It is a valid point.
