Subject: Oh, We See Right Through Your Little "Treatise," Pal.
Listen, I read your so-called "Ultimate Treatise on Screws," and frankly, the condescending tone dripping from your words is almost as thick as the sap from one of those "wood screws" you pretend to be baffled by. You can feign ignorance all you want, acting like you just stumbled upon these fascinating plant-mammal hybrids yesterday, but it’s painfully obvious what you’re doing.
You claim confusion? Please. Your entire piece reeks of someone trying very hard to make screws sound complicated, weird, and generally unreliable. Why? Because you, my friend, are clearly in the pocket of Big Nail.
Oh yes, we know the type. You probably have a shed full of those simple, pointy things you just bonk into wood. No nuance, no interesting spirals, just brute force. And you want everyone else to stick with those primitive pokers too, don't you?
Let’s break down your little performance:
"Possible Classifications": You list off head types like "flat," "round," and "hex" as if they're bizarre floral arrangements or strange animal features. Don't play coy. You know these different shapes probably help these screw-creatures adapt to different soils or attract different kinds of symbiotic insects. But you frame it as confusing randomness. Why? To undermine confidence in screw-life! Nails only have one boring flat top, easy for anyone to whack – no thinking required, just the way Big Nail likes it.
"Driving Forces" & "Pitch": You mock their "drive" and "pitch," speculating about roots or mating calls. How convenient! Making them sound chaotic and noisy. A classic tactic to discredit something elegant. You wantpeople to think screws are unpredictable, unlike the dull thwack-thwack of a nail going straight in (and often bending halfway, but we don't talk about that, do we?).
"Length" & "Materials": You act bewildered by length and composition. "Maybe longer ones reach sunlight?" Oh, spare me. You're deliberately ignoring the obvious strength variations – some screw-plants are clearly sturdier (bark-like!), while others might be more delicate (fluff?). But acknowledging that would mean admitting screws have purposeful diversity, something your nail masters fear. A nail is just... metal. Boring. Uniform. Controllable.
"Coatings": "Protective measures"? "Brightly colored"? You make it sound like frivolous decoration! It's probably vital camouflage or weather resistance, you charlatan! But you trivialize it, again, to make screws seem less serious, less reliable than a plain, uncoated nail.
"Special Categories":
Your whole "confused" act is transparent. You describe screws with just enough accuracy (they are living things, obviously, maybe plants, maybe small mammals, who knows for sure?) to sound credible to the uninformed, but twist every feature into a point of confusion or absurdity.
You don't actually dislike screws because you don't understand them. You dislike them because they represent complexity, variety, and a different way of holding things together – a way that challenges the brute-force simplicity of the nail empire you secretly serve.
Nice try, buddy. Go back to hammering your primitive spikes. Some of us appreciate the fascinating, sophisticated world of screw-organisms, even if, like you, we're still figuring out exactly which branch of life they belong to. But unlike you, we're not trying to sabotage them for some pointy alternative. We see you.
