What makes even less sense, is that you have multiple commands for a reference already...
Well, I think you ought to shut up, you're revealing your true colours.

How can you judge that it's not true, that was my objective, and you have taken the word "play" so far out of context.

I use that word as meaning to having a good look at something that needs to be investigated, sorted out, etc.

But when you came up with this rarely used word "abstraction" when I was trying to describe the extra characters that were produced with one of your command's, I knew there was something basic being lost in translation.

Think less, my color, summer or winter, is always the same.

Of course, I judge by what you wrote, not by what you imagined in your head.

"abstraction" is international word, with its origins in Latin, it's used in many languages and it's not some rare word.
Anyway, I don't care if some character is produced more or less in the output, such info doesn't tell me anything.

Many people assume we have crystal balls and can read minds. Unfortunately we don't.

It's simple, universal, how to state the issue clearly:
1) Show the problematic output/result.
2) The way to reproduce that output/result.


EDIT:
Usually they say "It doesn't work" or "I got error". That's it, whole issue ticket...

I met another rare extremity of a spectrum too [only twice in my life].

One guy messaged me a huge wall of text describing his problem in details (~8000!!! characters in the message), not a single word was actually describing the issue, just some abstract, vague nonsense. I asked to make a screenshot of the issue. He replied that the issue is "invisible". Then I asked if it's invisible then how he knows that there is an issue. He replied with some insults. I blocked the guy.

Another one, messaged me super huge text describing his problem in super tiny details. What his cat ate in the morning, how many watts his PC draws, that he had a virus 10 years ago [not this exact nonsense, but no less nonsensical]. Not a single sentence on actual description of the issue. After reading his novella I understood that his issue is something simple. I asked to state his problem in few sentences. He replied with not so much shorter message, basically like the first one just in different nonsense, not a single sentence describing the actual issue. Told him to write his issue in one sentence, no more than 5 words, and that I'll ban him if his message will be longer than that.
Then he replied with one short sentence, stating clearly the issue. He instantly got a solution in a reply. It was some very simple mistake on his side (nevertheless, the guy had genuine eureka moment).
His messages contained over 40000(!!!) characters, in vain trying to describe something that could be described in few words. That must be some record in the craziness.

EDIT2: Those messages were hand written, I mean not AI produced....

Got dozens of messages from this guy (he's at the lower side of the spectrum):
Yip, nearly 4 hours of talkin', not a single comment in return.
(Wish I could say that I listened to that broadcast, well I did but not for more than about 3 or 4, 10 second bursts).

I guess that the only real +ve thing to extract from such real life experiences is that you/we aint quite as fukkin crazy as some.
(although I probably is/are/am a bit crazy at times, mostly after a good skin full of beer [EDIT: Just returned home from 7 hours in the pub <had breakfast there>, I wanna go back])

As I like experimental films, I find that video hilarious, better than Warhol's film where a guy sleeps for five hours.
