56. You seem to be experiencing severe reading comprehension problems
The clear inference is that the 3 months is somehow not a 'detail', but relevant. That is NOT 'babbling', it is responsive. 3 weeks, 3 months, 3 years makes no difference, hence making it an irrelevncy.

The post that I was responding to stated (and incorrectly) problem was 800,000 dead in 3 weeks - it was to fast to respond to.

If one reviews the historical record, and also possesses even the most rudimentary concept of time, one would see that a period of roughly 100 days is far longer than 21 days, and, accordingly, that there was greater potential to have acted, had the party in question been so inclined.

If one is familiar with military logistics and tactics, one would also understand that, indeed, 3 months was enough time to deliver troops into the area to prevent further slaughter.

The party in question,hoever, was indeed not so inclined, did not act, and, as such, these comparative time frames are employed in what is often referred to as 'speculation', something you seem unaquainted with.

Glad I could clear that up for you.
