I tend to agree, but what are those higher standards? One I would suggest is that the act of pointing out a flaw ought to be considered unsuccessful if the author of the flaw is not enlightened by the criticism. Sometimes communicating the existence of a flaw requires some handholding.
To those who object "It is not my job to educate a bias-laden idiot", I respond, "And it is not my job to upvote your comment, either."
Pointing out a flaw and suggesting how it might be amended would be an excellent post. Asking politely if the author has a different amendment in mind would be terrific.
And I could be incorrect here, but isn't this site about nurturing rationalists? As I understand it, all of us humans (and clippy) are bias-laden idiots and the point of LessWrong is for us to educate ourselves and each other.
