I used the social security ssa.gov calculator.

I used ”~” to denote approximations, the approximations were due to differences in age of retirement and income.

I noted there were age ranges.

I specifically stated “assuming no other retirement funds.”

$1,500 a month is poverty, federal definitions be damned.

I appreciate the tuneup, but in no way was anything I said incorrect and pedantry was unwarranted.

I noted there were age ranges.

And I gave those age ranges filling out your example, for those reading your mostly good post that care for the additional details. If you don't care feel free to ignore them, they're not for you, they're for the person you're responding to where I felt your answer was a bit incomplete, but not wrong.

$1,500 a month is poverty, federal definitions be damned.

And I said I agree with you in spirit.

I appreciate the tuneup, but in no way was anything I said incorrect and pedantry was unwarranted.

Calm down, I'm not attacking you or saying you're wrong. I'm adding additional context and details mostly supporting your argument.
