As far as animation, you didn't even try... I know balisong's (butterfly knives) absolutely cold. I'm not an animator, but even I could've drawn the frames better than spinning lineworks... terrible. Next time? Try and have a little pride in your craft.
Yes, you should be offended. You should skulk back to your studio and feel shame, since you've just been called out for a seriously lackluster presentation. Even for no more than two minutes, you could've stepped up to the task to have the argument against me, by actually animating, and yeah, yours are the stick-figure kinds of cheap graphics that almost warrant laziness, but it's just a balisong (literally 'broken horn knife' as it's translated from origins in the Phillipines where they were made from broken horns of yaks and water-buffalo)...
So take this free time you've saved from all the other details neglected, and at least work on a believable butterfly knife routine... it's only like 90% of your story anyways... THEN you can get angry at others who pick apart your work... when it's actually work...
