Beaker, it is true that the original poster asked an academic, hypothetical question. And you gave an answer that is somewhat technically correct under a certain set of circumstanstances that may or may not have been implied by the question. But the issue is that the technically correct answer is dangerously wrong when applied in an operational sense - like a drug that seemed simple and effective in the lab but have life threatening interactions in the real world. This is the reason your responses makes everyone's hair stand up on their backs. And the fact that it dosent for you, or it does, and you didn't feel responsible enough to dilute your answer with an accompanying disclaimer highlighting how this could be dangerously misleading in the real world - just gives the impression that either you don't have much real world experience, or that you just don't care.
You kinda sound like these 3 examples- you just need to add the bit at the end.
