Okay, so you think I did something wrong?

Don't you think why I included that phrase? Moreover, I don't see what can prevent a non-native speaker from figuring it out from my post that if you see a noun in "genetive" form after a verb, you should ask yourself a question first: "is this noun animated?" and if it IS animated, you should have some reservations about the actual case of the noun. That attitude could at least lead a non-native speaker to understanding that not every noun which seems to be genetive is actually genetive.

Furthermore, it can nudge a non-native speaker towards trying to google a particular verb with an unanimated object to see if genetive there is actually accusative.

And one last thing, I actually answered the original question

So I don't see any reason why you criticized my post like that, the only thing I tried to achieve is giving any help I can. And I don't think that just giving a "Yes" or "No" answer is as helpful as trying to explain why you answered like that...
