	SG1Web: NNG - Articles - Nitpicking 101 (Submission Process)
		Nitpicks are submitted to the NNG via the online submission form, which includes fields for the episode in question, the category of the nitpick, a description of the nitpick, and any other comments the author wishes to provide.
		If I rewrite a nitpick (for grammatical or content reasons) in what I feel is a substantial manner, I will request the author's approval for the new format before activating it under his or her name in the database.
		In some cases, a nitpick may have been submitted previously but not yet activated in the database (or made active and the author simply missed that it was already present on the episode page).

		Nitpicking is the art of finding mistakes in a television show, for the purpose of stimulating discussion about and enjoyment of that show.

	Nitpicking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nitpicking is the act of removing nits (the eggs of lice, generally head lice) from the host's hair.
		As the nits are cemented to individual hairs with louse saliva, they cannot be removed with lice combs and, before modern chemical methods were invented, the only options were to shave all the host's hair or to pick them free one by one.
		As nitpicking inherently requires fastidious, meticulous attention to detail, the term has become appropriated to describe the practice of meticulously searching for minor, even trivial errors in detail (often referred to as "nits" as well), and then criticising them.

	Beth, Demon Princess of Nitpicking
		Given to those who have managed to nitpick a Superior and gotten away with it, this distinction lets a demon take a "master copy" of a work and correct it; for every point of Essence he (or she) spends while doing it, 100 copies will receive the same correction.
		Impudites who serve the Word of Nitpicking may add their Celestial Forces toward using their resonance on anyone who has joined in when they were nitpicking someone.
		Besides, I think that the true importance of Nitpicking in the Symphony is that it be utterly non-constructive, and serve only to annoy.

	SG1Web: NNG - Articles - Nitpicking 101 (Nitpick Categories)
		The NNG does its best to be consistent when categorizing nitpicks, but this is not an exact science and inconsistencies may occur when specific nits could fall into more than one category.
		When submitting a nitpick, you will be asked to assign your nitpick to the appropriate category based on these descriptions.
		This is the most subjective category of nitpick, as there is often a fine line between a plot hole and artistic license in writing.

	Nitpicking (pastime) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nitpicking is the pastime of finding, often trivial, mistakes in movies and television shows.
		Nitpickers will also be inclined to find trivia in a show, including possible "inside jokes" and "signature items" added by the writers or other members of the production team.
		When a recurring signature item is found in a series (such as the occurrence of the number 47 in Star Trek), nitpickers will often pore over the episodes with great diligence to find all the occurrences.

	The Trek BBS: Does nitpicking diminish your fun in seeing Trek?
		They didn't start out liking Nemesis and then have their fun ruined because the number of decks is different from what it was eight years before; they didn't like Nemesis because it wasn't very good and it made a fair number of bad or sloppy choices on top of that.
		I'm imagining writers meetings where a guy proposes something and another one shoots it down with a rational and realistic argument only to be overruled by the producer because he feels it's not so bad and the story couldn't happen this way if they observed logic.
		To be honest I have nothing against people who enjoy nitpicking, however the way a lot of people who do it go about it, is one of the things that turns me and possibly other people off Star Trek IMO.

		I think that is overly simplistic and I don't think how you calculated style DPS is related to how you calculated base DPS and I don't see where you assumed how many rounds a person styles.
		The one key assumption in this comparison is HOW much of your overal melee damage output is style damage - which depends on how many rounds you style, how much your off-hand swings and how much style damage you do with your main hand when you DO style.
		I never claimed to be a math god, but this sounds like the worst spec I have ever heard of.
