Yes. No. It was an example not meant to be taken seriously. So as satire, it needn't be called out bc those in the know, should know. And since you seem to agree with the sentiment, you're in the in group, and we are all confused why as a peer with shared values to whatever extent, you're taking this comment somewhere so far removed.
Might I ask what you do for a living in earnest? I'm paid to communicate which I'm not always great at. But it always makes me wonder how people use that skill at their trade.
I'm asking bc… do you never share an example for arguments sake not meant to be taken literally? With people with whom you're neither related nor friends? It's kind of a part of society.
Like at work I might finish a thought with "and then some call to action about buy my shit or something" but my colleagues neither question my recognition of the value of our product nor my regard for our prospective customers. They know it's a placeholder bc the context of the conversation.

I'm truly asking, not being a dick.
