You did, sir. (veering away from the topic).

If you were misunderstood, you wouldn't mind. I have to remind you that not everyone shares the same sentiments as you. How can you accuse anyone of being doltish, when you used vague monolingual terms to express yourself? (As a moderator, I deem this an insult, if you disagree, I can consult the others for an unanimous decision.) It is a fact that there are many underlying meanings of the same word that can be used in different contexts, so how can I have an open mind when you're asking me to consider so many? It's also a fact that being reasonably clear helps everyone understand you, advocating open-mindedness. You have to realize the concept isn't about expecting everyone to align their semantics with yours, when you're given freedom to say something. This isn't merely my sentiment, but a universal common sense. Being clear takes less effort than having one person consider an infinite number of meanings; is your intended recipient then getting the shorter end of the stick? That's unfair and pretentious of you. Now, I don't wish to argue with you over such a triviality, as it'd truly deviate from topic; an apology isn't important because I'm not so foolish as to deny my own fault for misunderstanding you therein, but I hope you catch my drift.

Alright, great, then our original issue about first-hand accounts is solved (which is more of a relevance than this trivial disagreement).

LOL, I seriously doubt there is any country that would (be willing to) provide such services but Japan.

Well, you can most certainly order a separate, miniature bowl of noodles to have, whilst soaking in a bigger bowl. I imagine it would be very queer. But as the saying goes, "Man cannot discover new oceans, unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore." Or something like that! XD
