Steven has, in the message to which you responded, asked for you to
*describe* this other world you assert exists.

More concretely: Steven is not denying someone might have different
expectations. On the contrary, you've said your expectations differ, and
Steven is *explicitly asking* you to specify those expectations.

And, instead of answering, you give this dismissal. Are your
expectations so hard to describe?
