Lets assume hypothetically someone disagree with your comment. That someone is an admin on HN. Do you want that someone to challenge your comment with arguments/reasoning (with the possibility that it is very bad reasoning might even contain factually wrong "facts" ) or do you want that someone to just remove your comment?
And which of these 2 options is more likely to make your and that hypothetical admin's opinion come closer?
What about 2 other people reading your post. One agrees 100% the other partially disagrees. Which option from above would be best for them? Which option is more likely to move their opinion more towards something all agree on?
If for any of the above situations you think deleting would be the best then ignore this reply and pretend the whole thread was deleted ;)
