Specificity is important no matter what you do. If that makes me “pretentious” because you were under the impression that I misunderstood, when in fact you misunderstood, then I’m okay with that. It’s not my job to ensure that you’re using nomenclature correctly, and I’m not responsible for your misunderstandings when I do use nomenclature correctly.
I think you’re assuming far too much of someone asking beginner questions, and you come off as a bit pretentious for it.
