🤔
Don't = -1
Never = -1
Not = -1
-1 * -1 * -1 = -1
~ They don't have to explain themselves for nobody.
So it's the same comment.
Let me know if I have made a mistake.

Nobody is a negation (not anybody). So they do have to explain themselves to somebody

Formally yes, but I believe that's an (American English?) informal way of speaking where "nobody" actually means "anybody". Similarly to how "I don't need no man" means "I don't need any man".

Of course, but I don't never need to be told nothing like that from nobody when I'm commenting in a pedantic language thread! /s
