No, I am educating you. Sentences are not defined. To suggest otherwise belies a deep failure to understand the concept of definitions.

Well since insulting is only done to someone who has no skill or quality in that area, and you don't realize this then yes

You seem confused. Insults can be directed at any person, regardless of whatever skills they may possess.
In any case, this kind of so-called realisation wouldn't have any relation to a person's ability to communicate in a language. As for being a better linguist than me? Laughable. Please report to

No more than usual. The definition you gave does not satisfy the stated criteria; it is not equivalent to the one I specified. If it were used, the resulting interpretation of the 'insult' would not be the one you intended.
Same goes for the one in your hasty amendment.

This isn't even relevant until you show that our disagreement stems from conflicting definitions.
