As a side note (not to you particularly--I see this a lot), you can't delete a comment once a reply is made in order to preserve context to the replies. This is probably for people like me, who come after the replies are written.

With this in mind, why side-step the inability to delete your comment by just replacing it with something else? It's technically allowed, but isn't that against the spirit of the original rule?

The comment was losing points and thus obviously incorrect. I'm not going to let it sit around and burn internet points!

You have thousands of points so who cares, and disrupting the conversation is only going to get more downvotes. How about editing in a retraction, without deleting?
