You make a few wrong assumptions and come to the wrong conclusions in some points. Others are valid.

I am not defensive, I just didn’t see the value in your comment and asked you to think about it. I could have done that in a more civil way, I’d like to apologize for that. That was a mistake.

Also I have never downvoted a single person on here as far as I am aware, because I don’t believe in suppressing other people’s thoughts, no matter how controversial or contrary they are to what I might think or believe.

I address them and sometimes I am wrong or even learn something new that will change my viewpoint. So every reply is valid and important input for me.

If I wrote in "military speech" half the people here would need a dictionary so I at least try to break complex concepts down to something everyone can understand.

The concept was probably explained to whoever wrote the script like I was taught how to explain it to people outside the military. And I think we can both agree that it’s a pretty good breakdown to explain the core concept in the least amount of words.

You’re right, but I have some bad days as well and when you are grumpy and have PTSD you’re not always the nicest person. You can be sure I am trying to work on that for the past twenty years and my snarky Sherlock remark wasn’t ok, if I look at it from the point that you meant well and just wanted to point out that the concept found its way into public mainstream via cinema.

I hope you accept my apology and I’ll try to do better next time.
