Why was this downvoted? Does CCD selection pressure help or hinder bee genetics?

  Please resist commenting about being downvoted. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

    Even when it is paired with a question asking for clarification on the subject matter at hand?
    • dang 11y ago
      Yes, because you can always delete the downvote noise and keep the clarifying question.

      Except it was decisively upvoted, not downvoted, in the end. It's pointless to ask why there was a bit of downage in the vote stream. Maybe someone misclicked. Maybe someone was mistaken. Most of these cases sort themselves out rather quickly; meanwhile a comment about it sticks around inaccurately forever.
