Saddam's WMDs were a perfect example of why nitpicky is actually the difference between an adult and child. Apparently you do not see the chasm that separates emotional feelings from logical facts. Many adults do not.
Stating that "I never trust Bitcoin" is only an emotion. Basically wasted bandwidth. It says nothing useful. Is even how Rush Limbaugh so easily manipulates many to agree with him.
Stating that "Unregulated. Linked to criminal activity." is a major difference. It states a conclusion based in actual facts. We were all taught this concept in junior high science.
I have little respect for people's need to post their emotions. It provides me with nothing useful, helpful, or informative. Those same people also love Trump, Cruz, or Sanders. In each case, those politicians preach emotional fubar. Even their few underlying facts can be outright lies. But that does not matter to the emotional. The emotional want their emotions fed. Those politicians are not preaching to people who need to see actual facts so as to avoid brainwashing.
So many who "knew" Saddam was a threat were easily brainwashed by propaganda techniques that were delineated here back then.
Another good example. Do you plug your computer into a surge protector? Then you are easily scammed by emotion. Show me a fact that says surge protector is surge protection? Most of us are so emotional as to believe that alone is proof.
Difference between emotion and fact is difficult for many who never learned that distinction. Children cannot see that difference. Some adults also do not. It even explains why so many love Trump. It is not nitpicking. It defines a difference between being easily manipulated verses grasping reality.
One could be emotional also about what is posted here. Or one could appreciate an underlying science that says why. That is why all were taught in junior high science how to separate knowledge from emotional beliefs such as spontaneous reproduction.
Trust based in emotion is why so many even gamble in casinos or buy lottery tickets to get rich. Others who think logically do not see entertainment in throwing money away. This example also demonstrates how many are emotional; not logical.
