I hope you feel clever, because in context, this is far too inapplicable to the discussed reality of JSON to be an actual point.

I generally do, thanks, though I'm not any sort of genius by any measure.

You seem to be missing a bit of an intentional context switch. The comment was more about the logic of the GP's response to "<something> isn't really X" which was "yes <something> is X, it says so on <something>'s home page", than it was about <something> or X in particular.

So it was relevant in the context of the discussion and the facts being used for reference but not, as you call out, in the context of the subject of the discussion (hence my somewhat defensive clarification of intent in the last sentence)
