Honestly man, this isn't splitting hairs, this is equivalent to someone saying that Bitcoin filed for bankruptcy. Confusing a private business with a payment protocol is not an error of category, it's an error of understanding what you're even referring to and demands correction even in a casual conversation. It's perfectly appropriate to point out that Gox is not Bitcoin.
You demanded a citation for "Given the difficulties people have in converting Bitcoins to dollars". I guess it's up in the air whether there is a 'some' or 'all' implied before the people.
I apologize for any damage to your face, but I continue to believe that the intent of the OP was to refer to specific experiences with vendors, not to characterize the protocol.
