I see you’ve been upvoted anyways so I’m likely not the only one, but I want to personally thank you for this. People being more willing to admit that they made a mistake and carry on is an excellent feature of Less Wrong and extremely rare in most online communities.
I disagree that it is extremely rare. I’ve seen a good number of apologies reading reddit, and I think it might be bad to upvote them because it could lead to the motives of any apologizer becoming suspect.
Yes, I was being dumb. Sorry.
Edit: stop with the upvotes already!

Voted up because it asked not to be upvoted.
Hey, that’s my line.
Voted randomly because it references a vote cast on the basis of vote-reference.
I’ll probably get downvoted for this, but please don’t upvote this comment.
EDIT: OK, looks like that wasn’t as funny as I thought, lesson learned!
I left the parent alone.
