Ah. That’s my bad for conflating my mental concept of “POINTS!” (a reference mostly to the former At Midnight show, which I’ve generalized) with points in the form of Karma points. I think of generic ‘points’ as the vague mental accounting people do with respect to others by default. When I say I shouldn’t have to say ‘points’ I meant that I shouldn’t have to say words, but I certainly also meant I shouldn’t have to literally give you actual points!
And yeah, the whole metaphor is already a sign that things are not where we’d like them to be.
I didn’t think I was disagreeing with you—I meant to refer to the process of publicly explicitly awarding points to offset the implied reputational damage

Ah again, thanks for clarifying that.
