The person I replied to wasn't able to name the forces beyond gravity, so I think over-simplification and reduction to specific phenomena they would have heard of is appropriate.

Oh, absolutely. I was adding on for anyone else reading who might appreciate answer gravy. Sorry if it came across as critical of what you wrote, my bad.

Gotcha, no problem, I did take it as criticism of my comment but that was a reflex.

Reading it back I don't blame you. It does come across as an attempt to argue.
