> It’s not what you meant but it’s what you said.
Technically, I did not say it, I wrote it. Normally, the way it works is that you don't take a single sentence out of its context and then say it's wrong. You take the context.
I specified my thought in the next sentence:
> Even though the OS has to "read" your messages in order to print them on your screen.
Nobody would say that the OS is watching your communications, even though the OS has to "read" your messages to print them on your screen.
