    Your hamster analogy falls apart here because it only describes an exception, not a rule.

    It’s not my analogy.

      Right… if you’re going to split that hair then you’re just proving my point.

        I’m not splitting a hair, I’m just telling you I don’t feel that strongly about it because I’m not the one who made it. I’d never heard it before.

          I feel bad for anyone who internalizes it after hearing it from someone else.

            It doesn’t have to be the whole explanation. It’s not like you get a singular sentence to talk to someone lol.

              No, even adding it takes away from the explanation for the reasons I mentioned.
