That's more of an interpretation of the "truth' than the actual "truth". The "truth" is that you write equations in a certain format, or write your equations in a certain order, or whatever you do that you two don't agree on. the "nitpicker" or "rknow-it-all" are just you taking what actually happened and comparing it to other things you see.

See the "apology" thread.
actually seems more like laziness to me. People decide thery do sort of feel like helping out, but don't really want ot put a lot of work into understanding the problems, or solving them, so change the words around. Eventually euphamisms become a way to be sarcastic and it starts over.
