And that meant you CHOSE to do that.

 Well, I thought by saying "I copied this post" at the start
would have been plain enough.

Let's see if this is plain enough.
I said:
"But you chose what to include and what to exclude, right?"
And you replied:
"Nope"
That's correct, isn't it?

 

But which you included above the points that YOU wanted to
make.

 No, I copied THE... WHOLE... POST... for simplicity. What part
of that do you not understand?
 

How can I possibly know how much of the post you copied.
You put that post's text (assuming I believe it even exists, this other post).

How am I to decide that you didn't mean that to be of any
importance?

 I'm sorry, if I had known English wasn't your first language and
you was a bit slow I would have spelled it out in more simpler
terms.

When you make an argument, you START by stating your position.
But putting the other post's text first, you made it look like that was the most salient point you were making.

 Somebody with better comprehension would have understood the
point I was making was about the academic survey of just 15
people. Nothing more!
 I don't do agendas.
 My apologies. I will try better next time.
