      I wasn’t aware there was another way to interpret that.

      Uh, literally? lol…

      I’m certain those rankings, like awards, can be bought.

      Oh yeah, definitely someone like her paid to be highly praised by her fans and critics alike. That makes sense.

          Yeah, you have a very interesting communication style as well, choosing one thing or another at your convenience. And gritty, too, even when someone is willing to meet you in the middle. I don’t see why I bothered.

              I haven’t altered my choices

              Oh yeah, you have. I noticed your slight change in choice of words.

              You definitely did choose to ignore a clear factor I gave

              You literally bent what you meant halfway down the thread to fit your narrative and pretended there was no other possible interpretation. Idk where you get that you’ve been quite clear.

                  I thought it was quite straightforward. “She cannot sing” isn’t the same as “she cannot sing well”. If I say “she can’t cook”, you’d imagine that her cooking is terrible because she lacks basic skills, but if I say “she can’t cook well”, you’d probably find her cooking tolerable because it’s understood that she can do it. It’s an interesting bit of backtracking.
