When Being Technically Correct Is The Worst Kind Of Wrong
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.
