How to use "More nit picking" in context?
One of the most prominent features of nit picking is that it is an incessant and obsessive trait. Nit picking is usually done subconsciously and without recognition, but it can also be done deliberately in an attempt to find faults. The intention may not be to annoy or hurt the person being nitpicked, but it's the result that matters. It's a form of showboating, one that often extends to others in the person's life.
Nit picking is often confused with critical thinking, but they are actually quite different. Critical thinking is a process that results in better decisions, informed opinions and reliable information.
