I'm not sure what you were replying to or what you were trying to say. Your grammar is reasonable. Perhaps it's because our language hasn't evolved to accommodate clarity? You'd think it could have after all this time.

I don't care that the real world doesn't conform to our theories, it really should." and then being surprised that whatever you're building doesn't actually work.

Automated Gun Turrets would make me consider subscribing, making sure they were connected only to my LAN, and then unsubscribing.
There's a growing body of anecdotal evidence that I'm great in bed. (That doesn't make it true.)
