I believe you. Short and to the point is usually a good quality for a comment to have. But in flamebait territory, the opposite is unfortunately the case—one needs to pack one's comment with enough flame retardant to disambiguate it from the cheaper sort of comment which is so much more common. It's extra work, but the burden is on the commenter to do that.
Thanks for the kind response. I appreciate it.
and here i hoped it was short and to the point - contrasted the 2 behaviors and pointed to the context which historically shown the critical importance of that difference and its consequences. Seems to be another case when we'd perceive ourselves in one way, and the world would do it in a completely different way. Among many things on HN i find extremely valuable is that exposure to completely different, including critical, opinions/views/etc. I see your point and appreciate your detailed explanations in this case and the effort you put into your role here on HN in general.
