To truly capture the HN experience, the user should provide a parameter for the number of "well actually"'s they want to receive.
So initial response should demonstrate clear expertise and make a great concise point in response to question, and then start the cascade of silly nitpicking.
- bradwood 4y agoI think you'll find "I think you'll find" trumps "well actually". ;)

- genericone 4y agoIANAL: unfortunately only 10.6k results, thought I had a winner for a second.
- Jimmc414 4y agosite:news.ycombinator.com "in my experience" 120K results
