You forgot to add the necessary context to make your comment less abrasive:
The draw the rest of the owl meme is not meant to be insightful at all. This makes it sound like you're trying to tear the author down.
You are comparing them on the basis of doing all the work in the last step, which is a valid way of looking at it but the author already assumed that he has the necessary skills to complete the task and he should slow down before doing the work.
Your post as is kind of misses the point of both the post and the meme without further context.
- jeef_berky 5d agoI agree with your feeling that the comment we've replied to could use a bit more context... or something. But I felt like I got the point. Looking at this thread, it mostly just lead me to think about how things can be super insightful for one person, and totally meaningless to the next.
- gregates 5d agoAlternatively, things that are not insightful can feel insightful to some people, because they triggered some different, tangentially related thoughts than what was being communicated — i.e., the reader substituted their own insight for the author's. Or because the author has enough authority that they are granted a presumption of insightfulness by default, even (or perhaps especially) when the concrete insight that's allegedly being communicated remains unclear.
