I understand, but I respectfully disagree. In your response you used words like “about that”, “high probability”, “frequently” and “unproductive,” all of which could be argued on a philosophical basis.
And by the way, if you are going to post things and then downvote legitimate responses—then perhaps you need to rethink things a bit?
- dang 6y agoWhoa, please don't cross into personal attack, and omit swipes from your comments here. TeMPOraL didn't downvote you. He couldn't. No one can downvote replies to their own posts (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25969116 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25969116 was probably downvoted because it broke these guidelines: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith." "Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something." https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
- ineedasername 6y agoI downvoted you because your comment didn't add substance by explaining what you meant. You made a statement that didn't seem to apply to article I read, which is fine in itself, but its brevity meant there was no way to evaluate what you meant, yet it seemed unnecessarily combative & overall unproductive to the conversation.
