Do you think that's a response to what I said?

From Weavers, Scribes, and Kings:

> "Shearing" is actually a misnomer. The Akkadian term was "plucking." Before the end of the Bronze Age, domestic sheep did not continuously grow wool, and the wool could be combed or plucked when their coats shed in the spring.

Why would you think modern sheep make a relevant comparison point after I explicitly point out that they don't?
