The classic battle between technical accuracy and common language plays out beautifully here. The first guy's insistence on saying "sodium chloride" instead of "salt" is the scientific equivalent of ordering a "dihydrogen monoxide with frozen hydrogen oxide crystals" at a restaurant instead of "water with ice." Then comes the devastating chemical takedown - table salt isn't just NaCl, it's iodized with potassium iodate. Nothing screams "lab researcher" more than being simultaneously pedantic AND wrong. The irony is *chef's kiss* perfection.
