It is also relevant that you go around speaking with authority when you have no idea what you are talking about. A copyright is a legal notice and the courts care how the notice is written. The purpose of the notice is to notify people of potential litigation if they use the software in a certain way. You want to claim "off topic" because you caught spouting nonsense and you want to divert attention elsewhere.
