I do not think that I was being nitpicky. It was constructive criticism and I am disappointed that you do not seem to appreciate it. Once you enter in a discourse, you should be prepared for feedback, and, in general, should use metaphors with care. If there was no basis for a critique, that would have been a different story, but there was a basis - you conflated two different phenomena. Don't you see it? It is not a minor difference - postponing dealing with the inevitable and secretly hoping to never have to deal with an unpleasant topic are different enough for you to grasp the distinction.
