> We tend to criticize things that we think are almost right, so close to right that we’re worried other people will accept them. > This is a compliment. If someone criticizes something you wrote, you should feel gratified that you were “right enough” to be worth arguing with. This is the logic of internet trolls. I'm right, and if you disagree, that proves I'm right, and if you fully debunk my argument, that means you're desperate to keep people from believing me, which, again, proves I'm right. I don't know if you've heard, but people will accept a lot of arguments that aren't anywhere near to right, because it appeals to their preconceptions, or it would be convenient to their goals if it were right, or their friend said it was good, or a million other reasons.
