is this a subtweet of me? i think you're using "like you" in a different way than i was using it - i literally meant "people who share this trait" so it's true by definition that they share that trait

Me too! Sorry for the confusion. The mirroring of your phrasing in the opening tweet was totally unintentional and was meant to avoid going too object level too fast.
