That wasn't stupid though, everyone knew what he was referring to.
Are there 2 separate ecu's in a Tacoma because I can access different data whether I use TechStream or some knock off Bluetooth ODB2 connector tied to my cell phone?

No, it's the same ecu being accessed.

not at all.
respectfully
Regarding your analogy. If you have say a P0420 on your Tacoma. Both scanners will tell you that you have a P0420 even though one will give you more in depth information.

In the case of the internet one person will be told "It's a catalytic converter code." The other will be told "It's potato salad."

His statement of "There's 2 internets" is frequently applied. Getting on him for it is like getting on someone for saying they could eat a horse. A respectful horse, of course, of course.

I think you are trying to muddy the waters with your analogy comparing my analogy.
Horse is delicious. Over the course of a year I'm sure someone could easily eat a horse.
Respectfully.

No, sir. He made an uncontroversial statement. You don't need to try to take him to task for every post.

and I'm sure you could eat a horse over the course of a year, but that isn't the expression.

Just because a group of people continually say something that's incorrect, doesn't make it suddenly correct.
