Pedantics is always potentially insulting, which was your intent, me 
thinks. Whether I choose to be insulted is my own prerogative, and I 
choose to 'not' be insulted. I would only suggest an argumentation style 
that is clear, 'not' pedantic, and 'not' potentially insulting when 
possible. (not necessarily for my sake)

uh,  not bool(insulting)
