It is generally used as a disapproving term for nitpicking or focusing on insignificant differences, often to avoid the main point or to be pedantic.
Flynn's post wasn't about Michael Jackson being the first to moonwalk. That was mentioned to specifically segue into the main point of the post-nobody actually walked on the moon.
Actually, disagreeing over nothing or next to nothing perfectly describes nitpicking.
Actually, I wasn't responding to Flynn's post. If you look closely, you'll see that I was agreeing with Dogsoldier2's response re: who first came up w/ the moonwalk.
Now ask yourself anew. Who here is splitting hairs exactly?
Yep. It's when two people disagree over nothing or next to nothing.
I respectfully disagree that giving credit where credit is due is nothing or next to nothing.
Actually, not entirely.
