Well I didn’t say that you DID say that. But, that’s what this thread is literally discussing. You may not have referenced it directly, and you may not have meant to tie them together *indirectly* either, but it’s still likely that others reading through it will.

Hence why I both upvoted your comment and added some clarification.
