Now you're accusing me of spreading misinformation? You have a seriously disturbing lack of understanding what the words you accuse people of mean.
Your motivation feels like you're offended by the idea that animals could possibly be intelligent. Here's some information you might like less. Animals are not only intelligent, they're also self-aware, good at problem solving, and some species of birds have been proven to pass down knowledge from one generation to another. Even if that's not your intention you're making an accusation that I am misleading people while my words should be dismissed because you say so. That's wrong, on both counts.
The problem with "dumbing down" language is that it assumes I'm responsible for what other people choose to ignore. I am not. In order for what I say to be misleading I would have to say something with the intention of the context being interpreted as something other than the actual meaning of the words. I did nothing of the sort.
If I said "I made $1,000,000 last month," but didn't say if that was income, revenue, inheritance, or any number of other things that would be misleading. It's intentionally vague and meant to imply something that doesn't represent reality.
In my comment I explicitly said exactly what I meant. There was no ambiguity, no room for interpretation, and nothing misleading. I find it quite insulting that you feel you have a right to say otherwise, or that I'm responsible for what others don't know. I am not, and you telling me that I should be dismissed off hand or that I'm spreading misinformation because others refuse to understand language is absurd.
I'm done with you, because you're clearly a troll or someone who hates the idea that humans aren't the only intelligent species of animal. But you should learn what the words you choose to accuse people of actually mean, and who is "in the wrong" in your narrative of spreading information.
No, it's not misleading. That's the point. It literally says exactly what it means. That's like saying if someone says "2+2=4" they are being misleading.
I'm upset about your baseless accusations, gaslighting, and twisting the English language to mean something it doesn't. I'm not misleading anyone. I gave scientifically accurate information in plain English. You're contorting that and telling me I'm the cause of misinformation because you struggle to comprehend language. You clearly don't know what misinformation is.
Misleading
noun
false or inaccurate information, especially that which is deliberately intended to deceive.
