I want to thank you for your edit, and for keeping the original text. Recognizing something you said ignored portions of the argument, changing the argument, and keeping the original portion to show _why_ you were wrong but still adds to the conversation is very valuable. I commend you for your ability to double guess yourself

Thank you. And you’re right, I am amazing ;) But seriously the main reason I write these comments is to work through my thoughts as I try to articulate them and get feedback on what I’m thinking. I’m actually happy when someone points out a mistake because I learned something. When I’m right, I haven’t gained anything. Sure, my ego enjoys the satisfaction of being right but my already inflated ego doesn’t need anymore stroking.

    It's even better to be correct after being corrected by yourself.

  My biggest issue is when I hit send on something when what it really needed was another editorial revision.
