All fair points, but
what the hell are you talking about? What’s all this stuff about plants?
I can only imagine that you’ve also said things like “we are indoors, nobody is beating around any bushes” or “how can you have the best of both worlds? There’s only one world” or “there’s no way you could ‘knock it out of the park’, we’re not playing baseball”.
Is that how people do that on your planet?
