I meant it in the sense that you had something in your mind that was so obvious to you that you never thought to mention it. But it turned out to be even much simpler than I imagined.

In the end I might disagree a little but the issue is so small at this point as to be not worth any further effort. It is purely just a matter of two different opinions. Drawing to a close!
