ADBOC—People refer to successful attempts as “successes,” not as “attempts.”
So conceded. Suggest an edit to the post?
I don’t want to disrespect the graciousness of conceding this minor point, but I also don’t have a great suggestion. Maybe something as simple as
someone at least making an attempt at substantiating their accusations of groupthink
becoming
someone backing up their accusations of groupthink
? But up to you, I just wanted to point out that “attempt” was bringing in some probably-unintended judgments.
Edited, with strikethrough. I wish one could mark comments as applying to a past version of a post—just making the edit would make this exchange meaningless.
I can edit my comment, if that helps—“This comment does not apply to the current version of the post.”
