    We humans sometimes use a rhetorical device called “hyperbole” where we use exaggeration to emphasize our point, and it’s usually not meant to be taken literally. Welcome to the planet, hope you enjoy your stay.

      Yes but the point you’re trying to get across is this is a huge amount of effort when it’s really trivial.
