That context isn't important at all, unless you're implying that the correction is wrong or misleading.

I think it's useful to bring attention to the fact that this isn't water being used by the data center for operations, but for its construction.

And let's be real, there's a ridiculous amount of misinformation surrounding co-called "AI", both pro and con. Someone providing context and clarification isn't something I'd complain about. (With the caveats above.)

Oh, I guess them stealing 29 million gallons of water is fine because it was during construction then. Great point, not completely ridiculous.

Calm down, pal. No one said that at all. If all you have is strawmen maybe sit this one out.

No one said the words I quoted?

Ok.
