Not all decays are weak-based, though, and not all weak phenomina are directly related to radioactivity. That’s just the only thing a layman has heard of where it’s relevant.
The strong force only holds atoms together through a sort of trickle-down force, too, but that one feels like splitting hairs.
The person I replied to wasn’t able to name the forces beyond gravity, so I think over-simplification and reduction to specific phenomena they would have heard of is appropriate.
Oh, absolutely. This is for anyone else reading who might appreciate answer gravy.
Gotcha, no problem, I did take it as criticism of my comment but that was a reflex.
Reading it back I don’t blame you. It does come across as an attempt to argue.
