Sorry, but no one is nitpicking your phrasing. You can't say one thing, get smacked down on it, correct yourself and then blame everyone else for "nitpicking". Well, you
can do it, but expect to be called out on your bullshit for it. For example, you say:

Wave. Raising fingers off your steering wheel is not a wave. Words mean things. When you say "Wave at every flagger" to a student, they take you at your word and now think that the most important thing to do when they see
any flag to to wave at the corner worker. This is stupid and dangerous. The most important thing for a student to do is to assess the current situation and take the correct action. 99 time out of 100 the first response should NOT be "wave at the corner worker". And trying to phrase being corrected on your very wrong advice as "nitpicking semantics" is disingenuous.
Look, I try to stay out of your 20-page "look at me!!!" threads because I simply don't give a shit about how awesome you think you are. But when you come into threads like this, with one whole year of being a DE
student under your belt and start throwing around instructing advice authoritatively, I do have a problem. This is a public forum and god forbid some track newb reads your bad ideas and get themselves hurt on the track. Or worse, hurt someone else.
