    The metaphor is clear, and your correction has no bearing on my point whatsoever.

    Go be an annoying pedant somewhere else.

    Your metaphor is on the Wikipedia's list of common misconceptions. No such luck for your argument.

    No, you said the common turn of phrase I used is apocryphal.

    You haven't made any counterpoint that involved my actual point whatsoever.

    How did you not catch on when I said "and so might be your point" or whatever it was?

    You haven't made any counterpoint that involved my actual point whatsoever.
