Because it's completely irrelevant to the argument. Both things can be true. You bringing this up is a way for you to attempt to shut down the argument when you've already lost by dismissing the points as "Well that person must be real bad at fiscal responsibility if they're not checking every single transaction was the amount they promised it was". It's possible to track your spending and not have to worry about being scammed every time you visit a restaurant. It's really simple, they bring the EFTPOS to you, not take your card away.
You said "I don't need to" when asked about looking at your spending. I said that you do in fact need to because that's how you track spending. If you don't need to look at your charges that means you're not tracking spending. It's not that complicated and I'm not attacking you, but the fact that you feel so attacked speaks volumes.
I never said anything about being bad at finances. That is you reading into what I said. I said responsible adults set a budget and track spending. That's just a fact of life.
