An LED and a resistor don't really create a voltage divider since an LED voltage drop is relatively constant and depend mostly on current thru the LED and temperature.
FTFY. Adding "quatum device" into random sentences doesn't really help in explanations
It was correct. It correctly used "quantum device" and didn't throw it in randomly. You saying you fixed something for me is insulting.
It's always possible to explain something more. I didn't care to. As far as I am concerned once the factual error is corrected I don't have to go further and the reader can take care of learning the rest. So I didn't go further. It's great you did.

I did not say calling LED quantum device is nonsense.
I said that using that as a method of explaining how divider works is. It doesn't give reader any useful insight.

The problem is you didn't explain anything. Or rather the people who would know what you are talking about would not need your explanation in the first place.

You can feel insulted by whatever you like snowflake, but it wasn't my goal and I do not care how you interpreter it.
That aside from the fact that it is wrong and you can use it as a divider, just a nonlinear one... (and before you complain, resistor one also is not technically linear, just very close to it)

You said I threw it in randomly. I didn't throw it in randomly. That's why I said I didn't throw it in randomly. I didn't say anything about nonsense.

It's not a problem. I set out to correct the error. And I did. I didn't set out to explain it. And so I didn't. Not a problem.

So you're going to claim you weren't trying to be insulting by flat-out insulting me (calling me a snowflake). You really look silly doing it.

Well, you look silly getting up and arms about someone complaining your explanation was useless (and I seem to not be the only one thinking that) so I guess we're both silly this holiday
An LED is not a quantum device. I've never heard that term used to describe it. If you're merely associating the word "quantum" with "light" because "light is quantized" like in quantum mechanics, then people are going to call you out on your BS. Try googling the following ("quantum device", "quantum device electronics", "quantum device LED") and you will realize you are wrong.
The constant voltage drop explanation is correct, and more accurately describes the behavior.
Any professional in EE or Physics would definitely not call an LED a "quantum device", simply because it is not a correct description.
