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.

do we need to tell stories or make sentences using this phrase?

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!

I am not trying to split hairs here, but  I'm  trying to challenge your opinion, because it is our nature to challenge everything that doesnt go our way.
