I see yet again you are ignoring posts that are a challenge for you while focusing on things that you can handle.

Even though Stringbean accepts that you are correct about the jumping altitude you thought that we all wanted to read you spend another two paragraphs explaining why their old error is indeed wrong.

Then you ended with two nitpicks.

Ok out of those 2 choices - back up your earlier statement or insult them, which did you choose?

“Insulting your intelligence has all the challenge of kicking a sick puppy, but OK.”

So you took the less challenging option.

Honestly? You don’t seem to care much about the meanings of words sometimes. Perhaps it is an attempt at mean-spirited humour.
