If this potential confusion is your real reason and not a convenient rationalization, I would suggest an EDIT along the lines of "<Argument> convinced me that <social value in error> was not a good one to hold, and I no longer think that Bayesian conspiracy is a good idea outside of the HPMoR fanfiction". If you still hold that it is, then bear it like a rationalist you aspire to be, since you presumably examined this model of action with an utmost care, to avoid any biases.

EDIT: I certainly do not plan to delete my discussion post with negative karma, though I did retract (not delete) one rather poorly thought out comment previously.

Ha! Now I feel like a noob. How do I edit a top-level post? :3

If you click on your nick, you will see it among your other posts, and you can edit it there, I suppose.
