I downvoted your post because I wasn't sure which answer went to which question, and didn't think it worth the time to try and figure out which was which.
The answers went to the questions in order.
... yes. The questions which are buried in the original post, stated as they were useful for the flow of the argument.
Basically: your post is probably less useful than the effort required to figure out what it means. Since I would like to discourage this lack of clarity, I downvoted your post.
I'd hope that anyone reading a top-level comment on the post would also have read the post itself. I don't think that this is very unclear, but I understand that your reasoning based on the idea that it isn't clear is otherwise sound. I am however disappointed that without even attempting to disentangle what I mean to say, you reject it as probably useless.
I did read the post itself, and however note that correlating your answers with questions would require me to search posts for question marks, as well as hoping that you didn't miss one.
Even on LessWrong, the average comment quality is just not worth a minute of my time, especially when it'd be fairly trivial to cut the cost to a few seconds worth.
First: there was only one large series of questions. Second: if the comment quality here is so low, then why do you bother reading them in the first place, or even taking time to downvote? I'd opine that it isn't, but then again most of my time reading comments is spend on reddit, and lesswrong resembles a not-shit reddit in some ways.
And statements mixed in with them.
And comment quality here isn't low; it's just not worth a minute of my time. A minute - as in, a literal minute is an awful lot for a one-line comment; even written out that would've taken me about thirty seconds to read and comprehend.
My point is, fundamentally, that it could have been easily been clearer, wasn't, and therefore I disapprove.
Ironically, I've spent a lot more than a minute typing all these posts...
