Correct use of terms matters

Not without more information on what you mean by ‘deviations’, and more details of when, where and how they are guided.

Why do you not take the post in context with all others instead of stand alone.

As far as I am aware you have never provided any details regarding what, when, where or how these ‘deviations’ are guided. So there is no context to take into account.

You could have provided an example. You chose not to.

Why must every post be self sufficient and contain every single variation and exception. All your challenges and queries would be answered if you thought about it, but all you seem to do is remember statements that can be used to your advantage, If that is not quote mining I don’t know what is.

It’s not quote-mining.

Quote mining is when some-one quotes part of a single text and replies to it as if the rest of the text doesn’t exist, when even the most cursory examination of the text that hasn’t been quoted shows that the quote blatantly misrepresents the original.

This might consist of, for example, quoting some-one mentioning a mystery, but truncating the quote immediately before where it says the mystery has been solved. Or omitting to quote a list of examples of what has been observed and then asking what has been observed. Or omitting to quote the part of a post that shows it is about jobs in science and then asking about jobs in commerce or ministry.
