You altered your own quoted words so as to appear to invalidate that
"simple correction".
In Message-ID: <N_NxB.7479$3e5.5383@fx02.am4>, you wrote:
I said 'long long is a type at least as wide as a long'. Someone else
said 'no it isn't'.
The quotation marks would imply to an unwary reader that those were
your exact words.
But in your earlier article, Message-ID:
<s4AxB.1045491$LJ4.896194@fx37.am4>, you actually wrote:
long long simply means a type at last as wide as a long.
And, on my 64-bit Linux, both long and long long are 64-bit
values. But are different types! (So long long* is incompatible with
long*.)
("last" was obviously a typo for "least", no big deal)
Somebody refuted your original statement, not your later misquotation
of it.
I can imagine that you didn't realize that you were fundamentally
altering the meaning of your original statement. Did you realize that,
or did you misunderstand your own statement?
I can also imagine that you didn't know that long long is required to be
at least 64 bits, but that would be very odd for someone who has worked
on a C implementation. Did you really not know that?
