Alright, fair. But this last comment was far more insightful and thoughtful than your initial flippant dismissal.

Alright, fair. But this last comment was far more insightful and thoughtful than your initial flippant dismissal.
- Izkata 2y agoDidn't look flippant to me, it was a very direct response to the other person saying we should eat what cows eat instead. I guess it could be seen that way to someone who doesn't know cows mostly eat grass?
- 2024throwaway 2y agoThe original comment specifically mentioned soy and edamame. The reply only mentioned grass. HN guidelines say: Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
- Izkata 2y agoIn that case, right back at you on "strongest possible interpretation" - The focus of that first comment wasn't "soy", it was "what the animal eats". That response was both responding to the important portion while correcting them on cow diets.
- 2024throwaway 2y agoCows don’t only eat grass.
- Izkata 2y agoI know. > > > > cows mostly eat grass
