Also what’s going on here? The evidentiary standard and level of evidence is much lower for pro zinc evidence—this (very incorrect) speculation that could’ve been corrected by reading more than two paragraphs of that article, for whatever reason, was much better received than mine. Several times you guys have clearly referenced studies without reading them, and your post got 10 to 1 vs mine that actually read the papers!
To clarify voting: users have different vote strengths based on karma, and the ability to give a “strong” or “weak” vote. My own weak vote is worth two points, and my strong vote is worth 8. If you hover over a comment’s score, you can see how many people voted on it. (More info.)
I have two comments currently at +10, “I note that that study...” and “it will wash off over time...”. Both of them have only two votes, my own +2 vote and someone else’s +8. I’m curious myself why someone (or possibly two different people) thought these comments were worth a strong upvote. But they both have only one person voting for them other than my own default vote.
(For myself, I’ve upvoted the article, and philip_b’s “I have common cold...”, and have my own default votes. I initially downvoted your “I don’t think it is worth...” but retracted that vote after you edited. I’ve made no other votes in this thread currently.)
