Arguments devolve on threads to wordsmithing contests


Why is it that so many well-intentioned threads devolve into wordsmithing contests? Is it necessary to argue about the meaning of posts when the language thereof is reasonably clear on its face?

Perhaps you mean Möbius strip.

Pop quiz - what happens to a Möbius strip when you cut it in half length wise, down the centerline of the strip?

part 2 - what happens when you cut the result of part 1 in half, similarly?

Is that wordsmithing? 😳
yeah, I believe that was the title of the piece.......i will guess you will end up with the same thing you started with after cutting, just a smaller version? what do I win? or do I lose?
It is not 'smaller' it is narrower. Big difference. words are powerful. 
Keep cutting and eventually you will have an infinite number of them. Curiously, they will take up no more space the the one you started with.. if you pack them carefully. But my problem is... once they are infinitely thin..Do they still really HAVE a flat side??? Wouldn't the edge be way way thicker than what was the flat side when you started? So then you start cutting that edge...?? Will you eventually no longer HAVE a Mobius strip since the flats have shrunk to a one dimensional line at infinity???...   
Well???
