Yes, we're familiar with the terminology and how it's used.

Allow me to suggest that telling people their concerns aren't
"real" does not contribute to moving the discussion forward,
but rather the opposite.  What do you expect to *actually* result
from telling people that?  Try gaming this out, see where you
end up.
