> Maybe my post wasn't supportive, but maybe it was more in the spirit of education. ... It was more about 'lets have a think about whether there is a relevant difference' (aka educate me please). To get other people thinking. To maybe learn something new.
Education, even if not "supportive", still needs to be respectful of the views of others and sensitive to their feelings. Both of those rephrases would be fine...

Live and learn...
