Reflecting on that post, I have a mixed style of discourse. I view low-information responses as nitpicking—status game-y. Solid contradiction, however, I regard to be useful, and tend to be quite appreciative of. I guess the question is whether low-information responses are useful in their own right, or whether, as a whole, they just produce a lot of noise obscuring more useful information.
