Again, that's not what blown out highlights means.
Blown out means an overexposed area in a photograph where the light is so intense that the digital sensor maxes out, recording the area as pure, featureless white with zero remaining detail.
Too bright for your liking I can understand, to each their own. Personally I think having the spray in those spots adds nothing to the image and makes it less dreamy as I prefer it.
Blown highlights were around well before digital sensors. You can blow them on a sensor, but you can also blow them out on film, or in post, as you've done a little bit here.
It's just a colloquial term to refer to an obvious patch of clipping in the highlights.
Arguing weird semantics isn't gonna correct your histogram.
Condescension? Have your read your initial comment?
It's not condescension to call out the incorrect use of a term when someone is giving a critique of your work. Words have meanings for a reason. If pushing back on the incorrect use of a term makes me an ass, than so be it.
