asking for a contextless definition of “authenticity”
Again this is a strawman. I didn’t ask for a “contextless” definition; the entire point of my initial question was to ask how ‘authenticity’ was being used in this post; what Vaniver meant by it! Far from being “contextless”, that is, rather, as contextualized as it gets!
Sure, you did ask within the context of the post, but that still covers a really broad spectrum of possible confusions. It is definitely not as “contextualized as it gets”, since again, both nshepperd and quanticle’s comments succeed in contextualizing much more than your comment does, and give much more concrete pointers to where their problems and confusion with the post might lie.
