I have a zero tolerance policy for semantic pedantry. It is almost never in good faith & is very common among those who wish to avoid discussing the substance of the issue at hand. Clarify terms, certainly so productive conversation can happen. Pick at words endlessly? Bore off.
Huh? I know what pedantic means. Are you saying it's impossible to be pedantic about the meaning of words or are you saying that semantics is not about the meaning of words?

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you don't know the meaning. I was trying to relate the logical import of the claim in an argument (that's why I wrote it out with the two separate clauses)
