I reversed my upvote when I noticed this comment. That claim is making a factually incorrect assertion to me about myself and also thrusting a normative presumption at the community at large. I always vote down such claims, no matter how good the rest of the post or comment is.

Thanks for the feedback. You make a good point. That was me trying to be a good writer instead of a good thinker. Thank you for holding me to high standards.

Good insight.
Well now we’re curious. Why are you on this site.
I’m here for that reason, and because I’m bored.
That reason, and because it’s fun and because I want to improve epistemic rationality as well.
