It wasn't an intelligent question, it was essentially "I know more than you, please explain what you're talking about".
It's pretty obvious that we're not at the stage where you need to go to the level of detail that Person B was showing off by pointing out he thought was needed.
"The majority of them, once they showed something resembling filtered output that wasn't outrageously out-of-whack, I moved on to the next shader. Some of them show a black screen due to them being some of the most complex of the BR series, and me not having the inclination to go back and fix them yet.
Some of them that do work are probably wrong, too - it's just that the libretro shader documentation is pretty vague as to what BR shaders suit which situations the best, so some of the ones with longer and more arcane names I tended to not bother digging too deeply into the visual quality, as I didn't know what they were supposed to look like anyway."
Don't you think if you want to make someone inclined to help you, that you shouldn't act in such a provocative way?

You probably can't read."
It surely escalated, you appear to think that Person A is in the wrong and Person B is in the right. Based on some preconceived ideas about the people involved.
"Intelligent people are going to ask questions like that if they feel the original request was a bit vague for cases they feel they're likely to encounter rather than risk providing inappropriate data by taking matters into their own hands."
So Person B is more intelligent than Person A? In which case, why don't they fix the shaders?
