So they presumably think they were fully wrong. Wrong about what? It's often useful to know about mistaken assumptions, etc. Now all the "corrections" in the replies are harder to comprehend. Everybody's work is devalued and made harder as a result of the pseudo-delete.
- layer8 2y agoI mean, take a step back and look at what you’re talking about here: a minor subthread about an incorrect argument. When I see a “.” post, I usually think “okay, nothing to see here, I can skip this”. Which in all likelihood is the best for my and everyone else's time. And I grant the OP the freedom to make that call. In terms of UX, it probably would be better if HN allowed a commenter to “dead” their comment, including the attached subthread. People who cared could still view it with showdead, but everyone else would be saved time.
