If you think that constitutes as passive aggressive then you ought to rethink how soft your skin is, especially taking into account you yourself first elected to attempt to undermine my understanding or knowing on the difficulty, ease or impact of informal teaching, I just responded in kind and presented several scenarios to help reinforce the point I was making If anything I'm just responding in a blunt and straightforward manner. If you can't respond with a rebuttal and supporting it with examples, be it native to your original point or with several very common and realistic applicable examples, then simply don't respond. Furthermore, points were included within them, you just elected to ignore them because you can't refute them, simple as.
I mentioned them to reinforce the points I was making, just as you were when you elected to mention about people face tanking. But if you want to use that example then it's hardly about adaptability and just simply an unwillingness to learn because they didn't go in with that expectancy. Linking back to another poster wherein it is not suitable to teach because the environment or expectation wasn't established in advanced. I get it you try and want to be helpful but simply read the room and grasp whether they're open to the idea.
No they apply to the point I was making, you know, much like your scenario of face tanking. You used that as an example in order to attempt to support your point. Not unlike what I was doing. Don't attempt to undermine the examples as being made-up when they're fairly common-place in itself. Why do you think some people just aren't inclined to learn or present an aggressive stance when you try to 'teach' - Because that expectation wasn't established beforehand. - The fact people on this forum are very much of the belief that people on this game can't handle criticism of their ability nor playstyle (whether aggressively, or empathetically done) just supports this. This is why it's just as important in informal teaching as to what it is in formal teaching for the vast majority of people.
