wtbob's comment being downvoted is kind of proof in itself.
- emodendroket 12y agoI don't see how.
- aleh 12y agoMy train of thought was following: 1. vote result represents opinion of "masses" 2. the comment in question says "masses of people need a clear, obvious Right Thing" 3. the comment itself is not clear and obvious as it contains double bind (asks to consider to be inconsiderate) 4. comment got downvoted which confirms #2 Just our of curiosity I've replied with another double bind "downvotes proof comment worthiness" which seems have reversed the trend. Speaking on topic, I think that choosing between Right Thing and Full Picture for the "masses" is like choosing between acceleration and breaks for a car: it is better to have both. Right Thing mobilizes masses while Full Picture helps to avoid dumb aggression.
