If it were pointed at you in particular I would have quoted you.

But you actually DID say that you thought a beginner would do better with sets of 5, didn't you?

I understand that you were comparing 5 sets of 3 and 3 sets of 10 but just because there are comparisons to make doesn't mean that a beginner will necessarily do 'better' with 5 reps as opposed to 6, 7, 4, 8 whatever. It depends.

With a beginner there are other things to consider besides if the intensity is higher. And if that is the only consideration why 5? There is a lot left unsaid isn't there. Five because it represents some mythical marriage between volume and intensity?

But I wasn't pointing at you in particular. It's the general gist of the response I was pointing it at which, all taken together, I think would look like what I said...

I've provided plenty of argument between here and what I linked. I think my sarcasm was well placed! If you want to get mad at me then your can join the list

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
