That's not quite what I said...you know, since we're being precise. What I said was:

"They're identifying examples that have superior eye appeal and structure within the range of a specific grade."

Not *just* "superior eye appeal", though that's part of it.

Since we're being precise.

That is exactly the same thing. I just said it using humor and sarcasm.

Did that concept escape you?

Oh, no, not at all.

I was simply clarifying for you, in case you thought they were just saying "yup, that looks good!", which isn't what they are doing.

Since we're being so precise, "yup, that looks good" doesn't mean the same thing at all as "identifying examples that have superior eye appeal and structure within the range of a specific grade."

The latter, of course, is far more technical and precise, while the former could mean pretty much anything.

Since we're going for precision and whatnot.

Do you want to know what came to my mind when I read this?

The scene in Ghostbusters 2 where Ray asks Egon about not having any toys, not even a Slinky, and Egon responded "We had half a Slinky...I straightened it."
