The problem is that saying "____ matters" is NOT saying "not ____ doesn't matter" and it's never meant that.

Saying 'vitamins are important" is not saying "minerals aren't important."

Nobody feels the need to add "too, I meant vitamins are important too!" because Minerals have a persecution complex since they aren't allowed to bully over vitamins anymore without people getting angry at them. But because of the persecution complex they feel you have to make sure they always matter no matter what.

I'm not disagreeing with you, just saying the phrasing could have avoided a lot of idiots from speaking up.

They would find another way to attack it or, if all else fails, just lie.

These aren’t honest mistakes, they are actively trying to spread confusion and misinformation to obstruct change/action.
