I simply tried to answer the original question in simple terms.

I wasn't in the mood for nitpicking discussion however interesting.

One man's nit is another man's nugget.

Hm.....

That has the appearance of encoded sex baiting. Entirely unintended,
of course.....just a paraphrase of a well known old expresssion.

From "The Natural History of the Long Expedition to the Rocky
Mountains" by Howard Ensign Evans:*

"There were opportunities to visit villages of the Omaha, Oto,
Missouri and Iowa Indians. Like other plains Indians, these tribes
depended heavily on bison both for food and for robes and skins for
clothing and shelter. They also grew corn and pumpkins, which they
prepared in various ways. The squaws [sic] collected roots of
groundnut (Apios americana) and the seeds and roots of lotus, or pond
nut (Nelumbo lutea).

[Thomas] Say noted that the women searched for and ate the lice found
in one another's hair: 'One of them, who was engaged in combing the
head of a white man, was asked why she did not eat the vermin; she
replied that "white man's lice are not good."'"

Women, it would appear, are every bit as good at picking nits as are
their male counterparts.
