> " Politeness > accuracy & honestly " These concept are pretty much orthogonal. While I don't disagree that insistence on politeness can get in the way of good discourse, it is an all-to-common mistake to read or promote lack of politeness as a signal of honesty and accuracy - which manifestly isn't the case. It's also often done in a lazy way. Which doesn't imply the thinking is also lazy, but there is a good correlation.
