They didn't say they were wrong

They just said they were far off the mark

That means their understanding is far from perfect

They absolutely do know their shit

    far from perfect can still be good.

    far off the mark

    Can it be time for you to shut up yet?

    To think that you saw me make fun of you for the game of telephone you played with yourself and decided to take the final translation and defend yourself with it. Way to miss the fucking point. "Far from the mark" was already cope by someone who was simply fucking wrong about what they said.

    I am not going to shut up. I am not going to shut up at anyone's request. I also believe that their comment had a certain degree of truth to it.

    Baby brain. "What they said may have been completely false but I still feel like it's true"

    Shutting the fuck up at this point isn't a request; it's advice.
