>Someone asked an imo good question but deleted it. Not sure why

it was me, and i deleted it because i realized my last sentence "being a little less literal can be useful" came across as unnecessarily blunt, which i didn't want. but i wasnt sure how to express what i wanted to say without it being that way. so i deleted it while rethinking my phrasing, and rethinking your comment.

in the end, i kind of came around to understand where you were coming from, so i didnt bother to recomment.
