That's a fair point. I will admit it comes across a little nitpicky, which is something to be wary of if you're building bridges with someone new to allyship. This is the point where some people will dig their heels in due to embarrassment.

Totally. People naturally get defensive when told they didn't do something right. That why I was trying to make it abundantly clear it was not necessary in this instance, but might be for other things. It also seemed like you were willing to put in effort after you took my first comment super well, so that was an indicator I could probably push a little more. It's not something I would have mentioned to someone that was more defensive initially
