You confirmed a statement about st_rdev - that's called "talking about it". The fact that you didn't intend to or how obvious that is is irrelevant in this context: you *did talk* about st_rdev and there's no way you can deny or erase that.
But here comes the classic twist: instead of acknowledging your mistake, you place the blame on everybody else for not guessing you were talking about something else. This is not a rational behavior, please stop.
