    I’m not splitting a hair, I’m just telling you I don’t feel that strongly about it because I’m not the one who made it. I’d never heard it before.

      I feel bad for anyone who internalizes it after hearing it from someone else.

        It doesn’t have to be the whole explanation. It’s not like you get a singular sentence to talk to someone lol.

          No, even adding it takes away from the explanation for the reasons I mentioned.

            “It’s like ham and hamster. Totally unrelated. But that’s just JavaScript, other BlahScripts are related. There was this crazy advertising push for Java back in the '90s that they took advantage of for name recognition.”

            Still a very succinct and straightforward explanation.
