Actually, it does change the meaning — for someone who did not know
that you meant it as a symbol, and took it as a literal. Precision
helps in technical communications. Unfortunately, one cannot always
correctly anticipate how others will take one's words. What I think
impressed Mr. Wooledge (and I am sure he can speak for himself) is that
he asked you about it several times and got no response. Human factors,
alas.
