They could just be a weird sort of lazy whereby they don’t scroll back up and change anything. Or maybe they never see his post. Or something else. I don’t think the -%positive-not-going-down-yet is any indication that wedrifid’s comment is not right.
You may well be right, it’s hard to tell. I don’t see an easy way of finding out short of people replying like you have. I assumed that there enough of those who would react to make the effect visible, and I don’t see how someone agreeing with wedrifid’s assessment would go back and upvote my original comment, so even a partial effect could be visible. But anyway, this is not important enough to continue discussing, I think. Tapping out.
In discussions where everyone tapping out is superior to the available alternatives, I’m more inclined to refer to the result as “minimizing loss” than “winning”.

I completely agree with what you are saying and also tap out, even though it may be redundant. Let us kill this line of comments together.
If you both tap out, then anyone who steps into the discussion wins by default!
In many such cases it may be better to say that if both tap out then everybody wins by default!
-3 karma, apparently.

Well to your credit you don’t see LW as a zero sum game.
What does he win?
