Yes, you are. "Rotations" in this forum can literally mean "content rotated on a schedule" (eg. Thursday is Foo Guild's Plane of Sky night) ... or it can mean "any system where GMs constrain raiders instead of just letting them 'race' to the content" (aka "FTE"). In context, I meant the latter.
You have a choice: you can write essays about how I'm "using the word wrong", because you like your particular definition of carriage and can't imagine anyone else using the word any other way (like a robot) ... or you can try (like a human being) to understand what I'm trying to say, interpret the word in context, and write an essay about a competitive GM-enforced system.

No, I am not. The problem is you are making new definitions of the word "rotation", and just assuming everybody agrees with them, without prior consent. You do this a lot on these forums. You have ideas in your head about what something means, and then you attack anybody who doesn't hold those same ideas. If you want to be understood properly, you need to write more than a few sentences, and stop making assumptions that people always know what you are talking about.
The problem isn't me being a robot, the problem is you are making wild assumptions about what you think people know, both in terms of your definitions, and what's going on in your head. You should really try writing a few more sentences. While you think a few sentences are an "essay", I guarantee you they are not

It's like if I said "how can we make carriages less shitty?" ... and you respond with "you can't, because carriages have horses in front of them and horses shit". Yes, I understand the word "carriage" can mean the kind with a horse in front, but it can also mean a "horseless carriage" (ie. car).

This is incorrect. If you ask "how can we make carriages less shitty?, most people these days would assume you mean horse drawn carriages, not cars. You are correct that cars were referred to as "horseless carriages" in the past, but that is not normal terminology these days, and you shouldn't assume most people are going to make that connection. This is exactly the problem I am talking about above. You have this strange assumption that the vast majority of people in 2022 would refer to a car as a "horseless carriage" lol.
Finally, your choice of words does matter if you write short, succinct sentences, because that changes the entire context of your question. The normal definition of a "rotation" is what I already mentioned. Do not blame me for not knowing about your customized definition of what rotations are.
