Yeah totally agree with the "save your energy" part but honestly it gets under my skin too. I once called something "claymation" in a group chat full of stop motion nerds and you'd think I insulted their mothers the way they came after me. But like, if someone says Land of the Lustrous is just "3D" they're missing the whole point of how much work went into making it look like that, you know? It's not about being a snob it's about giving credit where it's due.

Used to roll my eyes at laundromat signs, but that sad machine one really got me.

Did you check your oil after that drive like I forgot to do once?

Oh totally, that's exactly what I found too! Once you get your base weight down low enough, the whole "need a frame" thing becomes way overblown. I did the Colorado Trail last year with a frameless pack and 8.5 pound base weight. Had to do one stretch with 6 days of food and water carries in the desert section. Honestly the key is just learning how to pack strategically, like putting your sleeping bag at the bottom to create that nice soft column. Some people get scared off by the idea of no frame but once you dial in your gear list it just works. I think a lot of the frameless hate comes from people who never tried it with a proper lightweight setup.

Margarine's actually better for high heat cooking in my experience.
