--- 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.
