Right, but you do realize that sentences can mean more than just the literal meaning it historically had?

Christ, we really need reading comprehension classes and ideally poetry classes or something similar, since people are unable to read more than the actual characters today it seems... Seems extra problematic in software/programming circles, maybe we need to add arts classes to science programs too?

If you wanted to reference the saying about people living in glass houses throwing stones, you should have referenced that one rather than a different quote about stones. They're not equivalent.

Well, I didn't, I referenced exactly what I wanted to reference. It's OK to go back into the cave now.
