Sincerely appreciate you took the time to reply and clarify.

Honestly I don't care for downvotes but I admit it's frustrating that somebody believes I'm wrong (perfectly fine! I'm wrong very VERY often.) but doesn't try to make me understand how (not fine, it's depriving me from a potential opportunity to see flaws in my reasoning or understanding).

So yes, thanks!

It is a personal vendetta of mine to upvote reasonable comments that have been downvoted without comment. It is so irritating and childish on HN. Fortunately, it is a tiny fraction of downvotes!

    > I'm wrong very VERY often.
I love you for saying this. Honestly, I am too afraid to say it myself! This is pretty much a(n) OG/GOAT comment on HN. Anyone who has "strong beliefs, but weakly held" is normally loved on HN. It is a fundamental belief of Paul Graham.
