I didn’t say it was unethical to ask for support, and I didn’t question the work you’ve done. You introduced that frame, not me.
All I did was take the explanation given and follow it to its conclusion. If the burn doesn’t materially change anything, then the attention around it becomes the thing that matters. Pointing that out isn’t a moral judgment, it’s an observation.
If you want to stop the conversation, that’s fine. Just don’t rewrite what I said on the way out.
