And yet when I correct your terminology with a cited reference, I collect a couple of downvotes.

This is why it is unpleasant to correct objective errors on the internet.

That's not right. In fact, I learned a great deal from this exchange, did some reading and referenced more folks who feel the same as you. Up vote from me - I appreciate it.

My experience with downvotes here is that all sorts of rational thought is unpopular with HN readers. They want you to be young, clueless, passive-aggressive and false-modest like them, and they are threatened when you are not displaying these traits. Take the downvotes as a badge of honor and don't get too caught up.
