Why do you guess that? The sentence includes both "safe" and "healthy"; the latter is redundant on your guess about the former. This is basic reading comprehension really.
- sakjur 2y agoA lake can be unsafe for people to swim in yet have a healthy ecosystem and vice versa. Or, if your reading is correct, redundancy might be an aesthetic choice.
- The_Colonel 2y ago> yet have a healthy ecosystem Interpreting "healthy" as "healthy ecosystem" doesn't really make sense in the context of an initiative focused on people being able to swim. This thread gives me the vibes of arguing for the sake of arguing. The first point mentions "safe" and "healthy", of course this initiative cares about both good water quality and safety from drowning, because those are quite important things for people wanting to swim.

- hk__2 2y ago> You must be new around here The commenter you respond to joined HN 4 years before you, with 10 times more karma points.
- chilmers 2y agoI was very obviously only making a joke. But ironically your reply perfectly embodies the petty, joyless and argumentative side of HN commenting I was alluding to.
- hk__2 2y ago> I was very obviously only making a joke. I know; it was a tentative to make the thread more serious than these snarky, unconstructive comments.
