No, the point is that you said:
"First, the spelling is wrong. You want nonexistent, not inexistent."
And then:
"The name is still spelled wrong. NEVER in my years as a human being
in the North American English world have I heard "inexistent". It's
always been "nonexistent". Please fix the spelling before release."
We wouldn't be discussing if you had said: "Inexistent is uncommon;
please use nonexistent, which is much more familiar to the average
user."
