Heh, it seems like this post has primed me for agreement, and I upvoted a lot more comments than I usually do. And it looks like many others did this as well -- look at the upvote counts! I was reading and voting with Kibitzer on, and was surprised to see the numbers.
(Have I just lowered my status by signaling that I'm susceptible to priming?)
They surprised me too. (I actually felt the urge to use an unnecessary exclamation point there the priming's made me so enthusiastic...)
And I think that the status gained from the fact that you noticed being primed probably outweighed any lost due to it us being told it happened. Though now that we're noticing it, we need to decide which frequency of upvoting we should be using so we can avoid the effect.
Nah, you've raised it, by signaling that you're honest. At least, that's how it would work among true rationalists (as opposed to anti-irrationalists). ;-)
