Is it pissible for programmers to encounter a silly little meme without taking it serious and going into a frenzy explaining that actually its premise is wrong

I immediately angrility opened the comments to respond. I think it's just a side effect of working in this field. I have to be completely literal to the computer so in communication I prefer the same style. I will argue with people on the use of ambiguous language. More so if they are analysts. I can understand the business doesn't always fully grasp the concept but if you give me a functional analysis it best be 100% clear. And yes, I've been tested for autism, it certainly flagged up as a possible trait, but it's hard to know if this hasn't just become an ingrained preference. Sure does help me when communicating with neurodivergent people, and I've heard from several neurotypical people as well that they actually appreciate the clarity!
