&gt; &quot;Sorry if you miss the nuance in my point.&quot;<p>I interpreted your original comment similarly to your description in your reply, so I don&#x27;t believe I missed nuance (unless I missed it twice). My comment and question were intended to clarify the meaning and usage of the expression &quot;ad hominem&quot;, independent of this thread&#x27;s topic and nuance in your comment. Like I mentioned, I don&#x27;t use that expression often.
