You’re really going to double down on the pedantry? Rather than simply recognize that the most literal interpretation of a word isn’t always the correct one, you argue that there’s a possible loophole. Maybe the author
really thinks literally nothing in the universe could penetrate the vault. Not a missile. Not a comet. Not even the US federal government who owns the vault and ostensibly has access. Long after the heat death of the universe, there will still be the Fort Knox vault floating in the nothingness, along with everything anyone has ever described as impenetrable, because that’s how words work.
Let’s be honest. You are not worked up because of my disdain for this piece or for flowery writing in general. You don’t care about me, nor should you. You are worked up because someone has the audacity to not hold the same opinion as you. It’s not possible to simply have differing opinions, especially if there’s a compelling argument for not-your-opinion, so the only possible reality is that they are wrong, wrong, wrong. So you’ll reply to every comment they make, even if it’s not to you, and you’ll argue irrelevant tangents and willfully misinterpret what they said and intentionally try to goad them to anger to prove that you are the one who’s right. Good luck with that.
