We are all capable of making mistakes, even bhaisahab. However, when someone who has shown himself to be as knowledgeable as bhaisa appears to make a mistake, it is a little unwise to point it out so glaringly, in case it is you who are mistaken. Even if it had been a mistake, it might be more discreet to point it out in a smaller font.

As bhaisahab knows, and you appear not to, we normally use between for two things, among for more than two; however we can divide and share things between or among more than two people, and note a difference between [STRIKE]among[/STRIKE] any number of things.
