Hey, nothing wrong with small and petty. Everything, everywhere generally sucks these days, so take joy when and where you can, I say.
I’m totally on your side with regard to the word ‘hack’: Context matters, and in that context, ‘hack’ pretty much always means a kludge of a fix that works but could be better. It’s also a signal to whoever looks at the code later to take a better look / improve it.OTOH, auditors are the worst (though I would not personally want their job lol), and I can’t say I’ve never had to do similar pedantic things to appease them.
No, totally wrong. It’s like driving, where it doesn’t matter if you have the right of way but get t-boned and airlifted to the hospital. You’re playing on the auditors field, you have to play by their rules, use their language, and it’s just not worth insisting you’re right. Apparently your phrasing was accepted or not noticed, but it really seems like playing with fire.
