It is the point because that is what I am arguing to you. I am talking about comprehension and meaning, not stylistic editing you nonce--and I have been doing that since I responded to you. Either read what I'm actually saying or leave it.

which leads me to question exactly what sort of editing you did.

My personal opinion bears no reflection on the private commercial work I did. Do you seriously think every politician believes in the things they say? Grow up.

Your inability to comprehend what I'm actually saying leads me to question your ability to comprehend the written work and wether you're an editor.

This is how you come across.

This idea that meaning is all that matters is like arguing that Van Gogh only wanted to show people what stars looked like.

Yeah dude, that's exactly what I'm fucking arguing.

I am saying that accurate grammar is not important to meaning, not that meaning is all that matters. I even said it's not. Do you fucking read--are you an editor? It really leads me to question exactly what sort of editing you do.... Ha-ha!
