Which is fine. Although I actually thought this was pretty straightforward:

I feel like I learned something, so thanks for that!

Glad it helped. And to be clear, I had no issue with your question (although laughing at someone who just had their window broken is kind of an a-hole thing to do, but I assumed you were joking about that).
Basically the reason I'm being a dink to New Era is partly that it's annoying when people represent themselves as having expertise that they don't have, and speak authoritatively on subjects they don't understand, and that's kind of his schtick. But mostly, it's that he seems to be a
terrible human being, based on his posts here. He's one of the most unabashedly dishonest people I've ever come across on the internet, and that's saying something, given that I used to have a twitter account. So watching him fall on his face attempting to win internet points by talking jibberish on a subject he doesn't understand, and then continually embarrass himself while attempting to save face after minor needling from me is a lot less sad and a lot more funny that it would otherwise be. Even better that it's on a topic that is of no real importance whatsoever. He's on ignore, so I usually just act like he doesn't exist, and maybe I should have here, too, but hey, sometimes you have to have a little fun at the expense of someone who, quite frankly, deserves it.
But you're right, I'll cut it out and go back to observing my "ignore worthless people" mantra.
