To be fair, your another message copy got some replies:

In any case, we are here now, after the discussion resurfaced.

I recommend following up on the replies if you find them incomplete.

There are no guarantees that exhaustive detailed replies will be given -
they take a lot of time to write and are often not necessary.

I get it, but you cannot force me to reply like this. I simply do not
think this way - when I try to reply to questions on ML, I do it the way
I can. I cannot adapt the explanation style that is foreign to me.

If you find something in mine (or other's) replies not clear, just ask
to clarify.
