When coming here to comment, it's best to react to the most interesting thing, not the most provocative thing. Otherwise we tend to get a chain-reaction of provocations, as one commenter gets provoked by another's provokedness, and frequently an entire thread ends up burning itself on what was not even a tertiary point.

That doesn't mean it wasn't provocative, just that a community like this needs its members to work on core strength, so we can keep this place functioning for curious conversation.
