Split hair - argue over trivial details or minor differences. 为一些微不足道的细节做无谓的争执；吹毛求疵。
For example: I am not trying to split hairs here, but 0.25% interest rate cut does make a difference to house hold discretionary spending.

I always try to clarify every transaction while dealing with my reconciliation work, however I find out our CFO doesn’t care about that much. He attempts to write off minors cents other than investigating in details. He may think I am too desperate to split hairs, but to me, every cent counts in the book!
