You prefer your own self-taught ideas to a couple of professions with decades of experience with rocks?
Sure, you don't have to take our advice.
But you don't have to be right, either.
(However, to cut you some slack:- Early-formed crystals in an igneous rock often show slight rounding-off of the corners due to later chemical incompatibility with the evolved magma as it rises, cools, and changes in composition - so what you see is real, but your interpretation of it is not particularly credible.)
What is most important about these inclusions is that they are quite good prismatic forms, not that they are slightly rounded. A bit of Geology training would help you differentiate between important and less-important observations. I'm serious - enroll in night school for Geology, or mineral identification. There's no substitute to actually looking at lots of rocks and seeing what they're like for real.
