Talking about "pedantic nitpicking" does not favor your argument. Inventing claims from whole-cloth to debunk does not favor your argument.

The world uses literally millions of tons of hydrogen every year, industrially. That the only event of any note that you can get any traction with was over 80 years ago should give you a clue. Noisy scaremongering does not improve anybody's life. Give it a rest.

You've given me a good laugh here. It's clear to pretty much anyone what I mean about industrial uses, so you're just responding to what you mistake as pedantry with pedantry. Anyway, I won't spend any more time here. Have fun, you've picked a strange hill to die on.
You're the one getting the issues backwards (oxygen leaking in vs. hydrogen leaking out, explosion vs. fire). Someone helpfully correcting you is not being pedantic or dying on a hill.

You're the wrong one, sorry.

Edit: Oh, you the same person as that other comment. You're completely imagining the claim that hydrogen didn't kill anyone! I'm not surprised you feel such a sense of superiority if you're that confused about what's actually being claimed here.

Not fooling any of us.
