It's telling that you think it was obviously a metaphor. It was obviously a fictional dialogue, but so many things relating to that dialogue (as mentioned in my previous comment) were unclear.

Have you heard of "the curse of knowledge"?

Assuming all the details in your explanation are correct, if someone already knows those details what are they going to get from your comment? And if they don't know those details, how are they supposed to understand your comment?

Stop digging, please. It's unclear only to you.

It's obvious you can't address the substance of my comment when you can only reply with that.

Only unclear to me? That's obviously untrue, because I can see your earlier replies to me are grayed out from downvotes by others (note especially the "My comment was crystal clear" one), and I know that my comments have been upvoted by several people who clearly think the same about your comment as I do.

Talking about overestimating something...

Now please leave me alone and find someone else to troll.

Wow. Great thanks.

I'll try not to express individual thoughts in the future to fit into the collective.
