You can make a similar argument about turning on the light switch
when entering a room.  Flicking light switches is not something you
need to do every few seconds, but if the light took 5 seconds to
come on (or even one second), it would be incredibly annoying.

It's because you thought it was just a nit-pick that I bothered
to reply.
 

But with your habit you seem to have just missed the point;
the comparison of your reply-type with Bart's argumentation.)

 
If you think they are the same then it is you who has missed the
point.

(After the nit-pick level you seem to have now reached the
Kindergarten niveau of communication. - And no substance as so
often in contexts where you cannot copy/paste a "C" standard
text passage.)

The point was; you were both making comparisons by expressing
similarities - "a similar argument" [Bart] and "sounds like"
[Tim]; you both expressed an opinion and backed that up by
formulating similarities; Bart (unnecessarily leaving the well
disputable IT context) by his light bulbs, any you (more on a
personal behavior level, unsurprisingly) comparing his habits
with [also a prejudice] other professions' habits (attorneys).

(Again, I wondered why you even bothered to reply. My original
reply wasn't even meant disrespectful; I was just amused. -
But meanwhile, given your response habits, I better ignore you
again, especially since you don't want to contribute but prefer
playing the troll.)
