    Clearly you didn’t mean it, now that you’ve made further comments, but when have words only ever carried the intended effect?

    If someone says “let’s be cool to each other” and you reply with “yes, but there’s only three of them” then it looks like you’re saying that being decent is only warranted for large numbers.

    Your wording makes your agreement conditional, in a way it shouldn’t be, and didn’t even intend.
