That someone else cannot understand the difference between
"mere aggregation" and a combined work does not make you
correct.

This one contradicts your thesis. Big surprise, that.
Software combinations involving dynamic links usually
lack permanency, combination creativity, and internal
changes. Even software combinations through static
links do not necessarily affect adaptation rights,
because such linking often results in the creation of
a compilation or noncreative aggregation of programs
or sub-programs. Nevertheless, under the U.S. Copyright
Act, software developers typically have to obtain a
license before they may combine programs through static
linking because such linking affects the duplication
rights of the linked program’s copyright owner.
