    I’m not trying to push back against the humility, but I asked it that way to try and get you to consider some underlying assumptions you might have. Its more of a rhetorical approach, not meant in rudeness. Imagine it to have a /c or ‘casual’ or curious tone.

      I like the idea of having more “intent” markers; /s seems to be the only one people recognise (and I’ve seen some on here push back against it as a Reddit thing).

      All good
      Text based communication misses many layers, so it’s sometimes hard to see what the other side actually wanted to say.
      I completely get your approach though, because I’m basically doing the same, when it comes to SW dev.

      To be honest, I’ve never really thought about the definition of minerals. I just understood it as stones and salts. So I was pretty confused that plastics should be minerals as well.
      Was just looking for a easy to swallow definition of them.
      If you want to go deeper and explain more, that would be very much appreciated :-)
