It's not intended as smack talk asserting "My variation is better than yours!" (Throws down gloves.)
Sometimes, it's nigh impossible to readily come up with the wording that captures the myriad thoughts flitting about my mind and account for all possible social bits and potential misinterpretations. And I comment anyway, knowing it's likely to go sideways cuz hoomans.
Well, the entire discussion deriving from the proposed code change is ultimately debating the relative merits of a fart joke, so any contribution is bound to be a gas.
