Does it matter what your point was? You spread manipulative framing, don't do it.

That's just silly. Of course it matters what the point was.

Notig was using Gavin's words to imply that Gavin had a certain intent.  The only way to point out that Gavin had a different intent was to point out what that different intent was.

Yes. Of course.

But instead of saying Gavin was responding to an argument that blocksize has to remain small forever for the sake of inefficient miners (as he framed it) you could have accurately said that he was responding to an argument that blocksize has to remain small forever for the sake of security and decentralization.

See the difference? It's subtle, but that's how manipulation usually is.
