I didn’t say otherwise. I’m emphasizing that this is an experience/observation the cartoonist was communicating that must’ve been decently common. Going “well actually…” about it just undermines it when you spend 95% of the comment explaining how it was common for younger people to have more responsibility (such as guns) and 5% giving a token acknowledgment that the cartoonist maybe had a valid perspective but only with alllll the other caveats behind if. It weighs the viewpoints implicitly, the cartoonist’s perspective is basically being stripped down the whole comment.
