Declined Goof additions

I'm not sure where IMDb team members come from that approve or decline entries. I'm also not sure if you have access to the line above. I put a good deal of effort into adding content that is accurate. I have street experience in law enforcement and am retired with 43 years of experience in 911. It is rather irritating to have something declined for "unable to verify" when all you need is a dictionary. The script was poorly written. Impact means where the bullet strikes the target, not where the shooter was standing when the shot was fired. The spot referenced was where the shooter was standing when firing the weapon. If a technical term were to be used, it would be discharged or, more likely than not, plain English.  In case the link doesn't work, I'll quote the submission.

GOOF ADDITION

In the warehouse, Dexter asks Lumen, "Where was the point of impact?" and elaborates, "Where were you standing?" This should have been "Where was the point of discharge? The point of impact is where the bullet strikes the target, which is the pool of blood. Factual Mistake
Your Comment
Six years of law enforcement street experience and 43 years of 911 background. Multiple shootings resulting in several homicides under my belt.
Reason Unable to verify.

This is my first time sending feedback. Is there a better way to dispute a decline?

A double quotation mark is missing from the end of what Dexter should've asked.

Hi @gene_beasley -

I have resubmitted the Goof on your behalf and approved. @jeorj_euler I fixed the quotation mark too :)

Cheers!

Great. I do intend to watch this episode to ascertain a little more of the context of the exchange of words between Dexter and Lumen. I was going to do it hours ago, but somehow got lost in some other activities.
