Arguments devolve on threads to wordsmithing contests

Why is it that so many well-intentioned threads devolve into wordsmithing contests? Is it necessary to argue about the meaning of posts when the language thereof is reasonably clear on its face?

Model building, Watson stumbled on it because of Franklin’s data that he wasn’t supposed to see. Honest Jim indeed. Franklin deserved the Nobel. Watson was a tennis playing skirt chaser at Cambridge. Crick was the brains of that duo.

Don't you mean for the time she had her data she hadn't fully interpreted it or analyzed it? It wasn't for anyone else to steal and have at. That's intellectual property theft. Eventually she would have gotten it.
