Across all websites I’ve been on in my life, I have posted more than 100000 comments (resulting in many interactions), so while things like psychoanalyzing people, assuming intentions, and making stereotypes is “bad”, I simply have too much training data, and too few incorrect guesses not to do this.
On the contrary, your guess did not take context into account and was bad. They were downvoted for answering in a way which didn’t answer the question, had many typos, and otherwise took more effort to read than the information it contained was worth.
Your comment “added more heat than light” for no reason, with no prompting. I explicitly am only making this comment because you posted a long paragraph explaining why you are so sure that you did a good job analyzing when it looks like you did a very poor one. Perhaps people in the past have not given useful feedback, so I will give a short piece: do not do this psycho-analysis until you have generated at least 2 alternate theories for what happened.
They did answer the question, there’s just a little bit of deduction required? I understood it at a glance and didn’t even notice any typos. Situations in which agents can learn something without understanding the reasons behind what they learn are quite common, it’s not a novel idea, it just raises a red flag in people who are used to scientific thinking. The general bias in society against tradition/spirituality/religion is too strong compared to the utility (even if not correctness) of these three.
That useless extra text in my previous comment saves a future comment or to by taking things into account in advance. I even wrote the “I didn’t understand the explanation” reaction above (as something one might have thought before downvoting the comment), so it’s not that I didn’t think of it, I just considered it an unlikely reaction as I disagree with it
