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.
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.

Still a very succinct and straightforward explanation.
