Correction - They are more than just scanners. You can do a lot more with them, but they are just publicly known as scanners.

Indeed, but they're still not preventative tools.

I never said you did. I was making the point that your pedanticism doesn't affect my original argument.

I'm not arguing in the first place.

This is the 2nd time you've been defensive over an accusation that was never made.


Perhaps because I do know what it means ;)

Taken from Google define:
A pedant is a person who is overly concerned with formalism and precision, or who makes a show of their learning.

You were pedantic over my broad use of the term "scanners". Thus I was simply saying that you were correct in your point (re some are more than just scanners), but that it was also an irrelevant point when weighed up against the context of my original post (ie making the distinction between investigatory vs preventative solutions)

Essentially I'm just saying "Your point is true but irellevent"

Honestly, I wasn't being defensive at all, man. Didn't you notice the "LOL" above? :P

And my bad, it just came off wrong.

Cheers,
