I’m not offended - I just wonder where your priorities are.
You asked a question and I tried to explain why focusing on correcting details can derail a conversation when the consequences and response would likely be materially similar.
I mean I don’t see an Iranian politician looking at the bombing of an enrichment site by the US and finding it much better than bombing a reactor. Do you?
And then you asked what is wrong with telling the truth on an issue, which I answered. I don’t think you the person are dismissing the situation, but it’s a common media tactic to use any inaccuracy as an excuse to dismiss an otherwise cogent point.
For example when describing war crimes as genocidal in another country, the media might refer to them as not technically being genocide according to international law. They are still war crimes, but if the writer of such an article made a retraction based on such a technicality, readers may doubt there were war crimes at all.
This is a consistent tactic used to pull attention away from important details.
If you’re interested in learning more about this, so you can spot in the wild, I can link you to relevant articles and podcasts.
If the US Congress moved to stop Trump from escalating conflict in Iran, should the bombing of enrichment sites be considered less of an act of war than bombing reactors?

Okay, I have a hypothetical question for you:
If the US Congress moved to stop Trump from escalating conflict in Iran, should the bombing of enrichment sites be considered less of an act of war than bombing reactors?

The US bombed a sovereign nation, does that not constitute an act of war, regardless of the target?
