No, you didn't get anything right except for understanding the inherent
error of the initial question of expecting a simple answer. Where upon
knowing this, you took what you knew would be the correct response to the
question and tried to distort it to make it appear wrong by attaching a
negative connotation to a yet to be correctly answered question.

My, having addressed both the original question, your effort to distort a
correct answer and then presenting you with the correct task to do in
order to verify the correct answer, you responsed by taking out of context
the answer I gave, ignoring what doesn't fit you intended response to make
yourself out to be right.

All you have done is prove that it is your intent to be deceptive, and
arrogant. And that really does make you ignorant. Who all are you fooling?
