You can always shrug it off, possibly what most readers have done.
An odd thing, for a native English speaker to be given advice on the language by someone who is learning it, no?

In English there is both essential plumbing and pointless ornament, and I wish for that distinction to be recognised because confusing the two is damaging.

I am not the one who corrected the comment. I am only someone who said that this correction had a value and I am not telling you how you have to speak english.
My point was thatin my opinion I did not believe the correction had value. I was categorising it as a pointless ornament rather than something actually useful. But I emphasise, that's just my view.
