The Weirdest Music Fight I've Ever Caused

Who knew anyone cared that much about augmented 6ths?

So a while back I caused a bit of a stir in music theory twitter by making a specific, technical argument about augmented 6th chords, and apparently some people have very strong opinions about that? Fortunately, most of music theory twitter is full of kind, compassionate people, so instead of being a complete mess, it led to a productive and informative (if a bit heated at times) discussion, and I walked away with a lot to think about, so today I thought it'd be good to try to synthesize that discussion, explain what went wrong, and re-examine my stance to see if it requires any revision which... Yeah, it probably does, but I still think I was more or less right. Music fight!
