Yeah, it's about as useful as saying that all of science is "just statistics". Which like, in a literal way, it's true. But science is still what forms the foundation of our entire civilization and base of knowledge.

Knowing that a blood pressure drug works is "just statistics", but you still take it if your blood pressure is high.

In addition, what if the person noticed the obstructions and then moved them away, and then accidentally got a finger in there? That's a realistic scenario too.

Tone indicators like /s are vital for neurodivergent people who struggle with understanding people's intentions, especially over text.

In addition, you probably underestimate the amount of miscommunication that happens over the internet due to strangers communicating with each other without any tone indicators at all.

Don't want to be the cause of a CVE now, do we?
