My great-grandfather died in a coal mine so, I have an intimate understanding of your argument. Intimate enough to tell you that you did not understand the article.

You're good at being pedantic and playing linguistic hopscotch but you still don't have a clue what you're talking about.
If you think that is being pedantic I can understand why you thought the article was well written.
