>I don't really think most people make a big distinction between the two things to begin with.

No kidding, that is precisely what I'm arguing about.

>And it is blood, minus some of the components.

I still don't understand your point. It is _not_ blood. Water is the same thing as chicken noodle soup, minus some components. Water is not the same thing as chicken noodle soup.




From your original comment:

I don't think it's controversial to presume that most people understand

If you want to say that you personally see a huge distinction here, that's fine. But you are claiming to describe what most people think, and I think you are wrong.

I've learned a lot about the body over the years. I found it interesting to know that there isn't really some clear cut, black and white distinction between various fluids in the body. They actually have substantial overlap and interplay.

It's just something I found interesting and most people seem to not know it.

Have a great day. If that doesn't clear this up, then it's really not worth arguing further.
