    You haven’t understood my pretty clear language and then are calling my metaphor dumb? Wow.

    You don’t wipe with no cloth and just water alone? No shit, are you going for a promotion from Captain Obvious to Major Lee Obvious?

    Your “no, the first thing you do is get the rag” is about the dumbest response I can imagine and inaccurate since the situation was framed as “wipe with a rag” implying a situation where one already has the rag. You might as well have wrote “the first thing you do is put on appropriate non-skid footwear and remove any rings.”

    You’re not pedantic, you’re pretending to score points by calling me out for omitting the incredibly obvious parts that really didn’t need to be said at all.

      the first thing you do is get a rag

      Was because you were downplaying the importance of the rag. The rag is more important than the water is. If you’re cleaning a mess, and your choice is between water and rag, you choose the rag.

      How commonly do bidet users scrub with both TP and water in a single sitting? The internet and this comment section suggests it’s pretty rare.

      People are choosing between bidet (water) and tp (rag), and in your analogy, you’re saying the sensible choice is to wash something with only water and no rag. Your analogy only holds water (lol) if you don’t actually think about it.

      Is that clear enough for you?
