I absolutely believe it’s worth exploring why something does or doesn’t work, don’t get me wrong. That’s kind of my whole obsession, yk? I don’t post walls of text working through my thoughts on something on a forum because I fundamentally misunderstand that. I apologize for being a bit glib, but my frustrations are actually that I don’t think people are being good enough at it. /respectfully
If your obsession is figuring out why things work or don’t, then it’s a little ironic to dismiss my points as arbitrary. You say people aren’t good enough at this, but then you brush off anyone trying to have the conversation. Maybe the problem isn’t that people are missing the mark, it’s that you’re more interested in tearing down discussions than actually having them. Respectfully.
