I tried to help you to understand why the particular statement from BrianL99 actually made sense. You're welcome. You seemed confused since you tried to use his statement to discredit him. I don't know him so maybe he doesn't know the difference between a LAN and a WAN but based on his analogy to water pipes he seems to have a pretty good grasp of things.
Are we in a snarkiness battle?

The water pipe example does make sense to explain how bandwidth works for LAN and WAN. And it also showed that he was only considering WAN and not considering that there are a myriad of uses of a LAN for local traffic (incomplete grasp of networks and their usage). And he ended his post with an expletive abbreviation emphasizing his point that was clearly wrong. It is a BFD for some people to have bandwidth on their LAN that exceeds their WAN bandwidth.
Maybe we should try this. Point out 1 single thing that the OP got wrong that warranted all the people trying to point out that it is pointless (and demonstrate that they either don't understand or don't have a complete grasp).
