Wing tip vortices might have a different point to this conversation ?

How Does Aspect Ratio Affect Your Wing?
Some wings are short and stubby, while others are long and skinny. What's up with the difference?www.boldmethod.com
I found this sentence incomprehensible, and I am irritated. First of all, wing tip vortices are not people but mere physical phenomena , so they cannot contribute to a conversation. And furthermore, you don't say, "have a different point"; you say "add a different point" or "have a different view."
Grammatical nitpicking aside, your one-sentence post basically just related Topic A to Topic B, and put a question mark at the end. You didn't put much effort into formulating an actual question, so it's impossible to know how to address the topics or to understand what the intent would be. For starters, what actual topics did you even want the discussion to address? The post you're referencing states that the most notable characteristics of a design were related to its power system. You basically said, wing tip vortices, then you linked a boldmethod (yuck) article about aspect ratio. So, uhm... huh???
Anyway, there are factors things besides sweep angle that influence the extent of the tip vortices. It all factors into an optimization problem which is context-specific, and includes other factors like strength.
By the way, would you please do me a huge favor and set up a firewall rule to block any traffic pertaining to boldmethod? If you ever find yourself with excess free time and brain cells, you could always try aviation stack exchange.
