Nah. Sure, there’s stuff that I might have worded better, but I don’t think it’s particularly cringeworthy. My first posts were in this thread:

It stands to reason that someone may mistake the two physical properties, especially given the traditional shake of the milk carton to determine how full it is (though the letter is presumably talking about somewhat larger containers).

I think I laid out my position well and stand by what I said. I even performed a physical experiment demonstrating my claims. If anything, I wish I was able to do this more often.
