Okay, so the argument does not apply to that situation. A simple "no" would have sufficed...

    It is more useful to explain why something is wrong

    Yeah the explanation was fine but the "What? That's a very different situation" seemed unnecessarily hostile. But maybe it just have my panties in a bunch today, it could be me

    I wasn't intentionally trying to be rude, it genuinely took me aback. I'm sorry to have come across that way.

    From my perspective, tt felt like you hadn't actually read my argument and were responding in bad faith, since this comparison is the sort of thing that people say to dismiss software engineering as a sort of thought-terminating cliche.

    Oh, my bad. I didn't really need to take offense to it, I was probably just grumpy and didn't know what else to say. It wasn't that big a deal.

    But no, I wasn't trying to be dismissive of your argument qua software engineering, but I see how it came off that way. I think it was a good argument, I was just bringing up something tangentially related out of nothing more than free-association style banter. In hindsight it wasn't really that relevant to the conversation anyway...
