Don't worry about it. Your comment was fine. People sometimes downvote for idiosyncratic reasons but someone else usually comes along and neutralizes that (as I just did). The main thing is to keep the discussion on-topic and not go meta. You make an excellent point: the difficulty of programming is not only that of instructing the computer but also that of the problem the program is to solve. I agree. (As an aside, the main problem with your comment is that it was rambling. This obscures your otherwise valuable insights. I recommend a course of obsessive-compulsive editing :))
