> Why would that be the assumption?

I thought the phrasing of the person I was replying to implied they were grinding that particular axe.

Of course there are more complex things to discuss here, and in practice reality here is not yet modelled successfully with maths, so we certainly won't figure it out with verbal reasoning.

I was just a bit disappointed with their obvious-yet-probably-not-correct argument, and felt maybe I could respond in a way that made them think it through a bit more.
