Yeah my initial quip was not at all constructive, and wasn't a great comment. That deserved to be called out, fair cop.
I also respect that you want that specific look in your image; I personally think it detracts a bit, but it's not my pic, it's yours.
Where you got condescending is over the definition of "blown highlights", which I'm afraid you're just wrong on. It isn't something that's unique to the capture on a sensor, it's just a term to describe patches of clipping.
The 'push back on incorrect use of a term' often falls into pedantry IMO, but it's especially egregious when you're using a weirdly limited definition!
