This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The person that replied to you is probably being scientific-literal and obnoxious. I understood what you meant just fine. :}
I wouldn't call it obnoxious, it's just pointing out that they are using terms that don't align with what they stated. If nobody ever mentioned the difference, how can they ever learn? Not saying everyone needs "taught" but it really didn't seem malicious like you seem to believe
