You presented this chatbot blurb without any personal qualifiers and then punctuated it with "stay on topic." (implied parallel imperative)
The only thing missing was "nuff said" at the end. wink
A reasonable assumption is that you concluded that it was correct.

I have a twinkle in my eye too.

Well twinkle or not, you have read way too much into my post. At risk of spelling this out, I took Everett's original post and fed it to a chatbot. It came back with a response that addressed everything in that post and I presented it as such. I never said whether I agreed or disagreed with it. My only observation on its content was that it stayed on topic, which is to be expected from a bot, hence the smiley face. In short, it's a factual contribution to the discussion.
