"Highly upvoted"? Ten or twenty anonymous people agreeing with you is hardly exceptional.

Actually it is. I don't usually get upvoted to those levels. Something was different about those comments.

(EDIT: Nonetheless, I have edited that sentence out.)

Unpopular ideas can be right; popular ideas can be wrong. I had thought the water really was up to my ankles, but I guess it isn't, yet.

I agree with the first sentence; I don't understand the second.
