I want to say this in a separate comment because I know it's going to get downvoted (but I am a sucker for telling the truth)...

How many comments with this sort of disclaimer end up downvoted on net? It seems like they're usually >0.

Is this a problem in peoples mental models of LessWrong, or does it cause people to think differently? If the latter, is that an improvement?

This comment of mine is going to get downvoted because it will have contributed nothing to the discussion.
