As long as it is militarily and commercially viable then the number of satellites will continue increasing, regardless of what academics have to say about collision rates. As per usual this is a coordination problem and in case people have not noticed nations are becoming less coordinated and more insular.

And what is your yardstick for measuring this? As far as I can tell this is the opposite of true. It's a popular national news meme but I don't believe it's been measured in any reliable way.

> so you can greatly simplify your sentence

You didn't need to use "greatly" here because the suggestion you're offering without being asked is not particularly great or meaningful.

> I think that would greatly aid in your online communications.

I communicate online just fine, thank you, I'm also happy to be an individual and to allow that individuality to be expressed through my communications.

Thanks again for the unwelcome and unnecessary advice. Please don't use your time to police other peoples writing. It's rude.

I would recommend you take your own advice.

You are unwilling to adhere to your own standard? Interesting. What happened? Was it that someone else used this technique against you in the past to make you feel small? And now you've stored in some kind of quiver of ready to use insulting behavior to avoid any sort of confrontation or perceived failure? Then because of this you're made awkward and uncomfortable when it doesn't play out the same way as before?

In psychology that's called projection. I highly recommend looking into it.

"True" here is not a boolean, it's the truth of the matter.

The claim is that coordination is decreasing. Calling that "false" might mean coordination is steady. Calling it the "opposite of true" means that coordination is increasing.

That's a possible interpretation but the verbosity of the original statement hinders understanding the actual intent which is I why I recommended simplifying and removing unnecessary redundancies.

It's 40 words and makes three separate points in those words. I don't think it's too verbose, and I don't think your suggestion helps.
