No need to praise for that behavior, it’s just one person doing their research; this should be the default.

- brujoand 6y agoThere is seldom need for praise, that's what makes the praise mean something. Some stranger took the time to thank a person for doing something. Huge high five, probably felt good for both of them. I don't think we should discourage positive human interaction.
- thih9 6y agoIt still feels to me like praising somebody for doing something mundane, e.g. washing their hands. Sure, a positive interaction and rewarding something important. At the same time we shouldn’t forget to aim to make this behavior commonplace.
