I didn't state the assumption in my initial comment, and if I had, I wouldn't have been able to put it in terms of the "ring theory" model since I didn't know about that when I wrote the comment. Hence "In that model, [...]" just prior to your excerpt, although I suppose I might've been clearer there too that that was intended as a clarifying statement explicitly framed in the terms of that novel-to-me model.
- wpietri 6y agoOk. My problem with your advice is that it appears to be framed as universal advice, when it turns out you apparently only meant it for a narrow group. It would have been helpful if you had just admitted the error promptly.
- throwanem 6y agoI do generally prefer to give my audience the credit of assuming that each member can and will evaluate for themselves whether anything I'm saying is of value to them. Perhaps there's some error to be found in this assumption, but if so, I have to confess myself unable to recognize it.
- wpietri 6y agoOk. I tried to help. I hope you figure it out eventually.
