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...
