Before mattnewport’s comment, was there any fact or important value being disputed here, or merely how much negative affect we should be feeling and expressing about that number?
I introduced a trivial fact (the number) which I felt was relevant to the comment as far as the definition of ‘very few’. I am disputing a pointless definition, and honestly I don’t care that much, but gwern’s smug tone got me angry enough to reply to a months old discussion that hardly mattered in the first place.
