Stretch =/= Expand

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/expand

Expand- to express in greater detail.

stretch is to lengthen by pulling while expand is to change something from a smaller form and/or size to a larger one. I hope this helps remedy your confusion.

They are not mutually exclusive.  They are in fact synonyms as you can see in this thesaurus.  I could have used the word expand.  Expand might have been a better word choice.  Regardless, I used stretch, to make longer, which is also an entirely appropriate word to use.

Unless they didn't actually make the segment longer (it sure felt a lot longer) then my word choice was fine.  If there was any confusion about how I was using the word, I already rectified that by posting the definition that I was using.

Don't sweat it, your word was perfectly fine. They are just being nitpicky and middly aggressive because you said something "bad" about a game they love.
