Can you say 'irrelevant detail'?

I was discussing an idea -- not focusing on details of syntax.
Are you also correcting people's spelling -- "for the record"?

If this was to be a reference for a record -- an audience I didn't write
for, then you screwed up. It is not true that you must have a semicolon
before the closing curly brace.   An ampersand will do just as well  if one
wants to use such.
