Why make false statements?

I didn't split your sentence. Your sentence was:
It wasn't.
I quoted that sentence in its entirety.

or semi-colon instead?
Would that have made a difference? (Simply making that statement part
of a bigger sentence (that is, without doing so in a way that actually
qualified that statement) wouldn't have made it true.)
[continued from above] ... It merely saves formfield data. It doesn't
know it's a credit card. It's just text to the browser.
(Even if the browser doesn't _know_ that it was[] saving credit card
info, it was saving credit card info, just as Paul wrote.)
Are we going to argue semantics?
Semantics is the meaning of something. How is that not the important
part?
What I was arguing was that you shouldn't be saying that the browser
doesn't save sensitive information just because it doesn't _know_
which data might be sensitive. It's still saving it (unless form
data saving is turned off), so therefore, _especially_ because the
browser does not know which data is sensitive, the browser should
provide a way for the user to review the saved data.
I notice you snipped all my contribution on *how* browsers save form
input data, and how they use the input field IDs to save it. I was
hoping Paul (and you) would get some idea of the way it works.
I snipped that because you already conveyed that part (and because I
wasn't addressing that part).
Ah--maybe I see the problem: You thought I was arguing against more
of what you said than I actually was.
No, I was not saying that the rest of what you said there was wrong.
I was pointing out that _part_ of what you said (that one two-word
sentence) was wrong (and could lead to false conclusions).
I'm not in charge of how browsers work.
Then why did you proclaim "the behaviour will not be altered"
as if you were one of the SeaMonkey decision-makers?
