Quite the contrary, in fact. Parochial, maybe but not dishonest. What I DID say, however, is that your post (not BA) was redefining language by adopting a peculiar definition of the term 'route', which is different from the meaning normally attributed to this term.
I can assure you Mate that where I come from Route/root has a completely different meaning altogether.
Never take yourself too seriously; god knows no one else does.
I know what route means and it doesn't mean some dog leg trip via lhr.
