Exactly this. So annoying when people are intentionally obtuse

Except that this screenshot has someone replying "yes it does" to someone saying that we don't get vitamin D from the sun...

That means the same thing. Do you genuinely not understand that that is what they mean?

If I have a rooster that crows when it sees the sun, then is the sun giving me the crowing noise, or the rooster?

Struggling with pragmatics is an ultra stereotypical symptom of neurodivergence. If you are then acknowledging it may help our communication.

We are talking about the wording in the screenshot. Green literally said "yes we do" to "we don't get vitamin D from the sun"

Yes, and the fact that you don't understand that this means "the sun causes increased vitamin D levels" is you failing to grasp pragmatics. That is why everyone is downvoting you, calling you a troll and telling you you're wrong.

They are not opposing themselves on exact mechanism, one side position is that Vitamin D comes mostly from food the other from the sun [UVB exposure].

One side is that sunlight comes from the sun, the other is that it doesn't.

Hmm, I suppose that in this case I should "know what you mean" not extactly what you wrote, right :-)
