There isn't a competition.
No idea one way or the other. I didn't read it. The script in the context didn't pattern match to the kind of thing that would interest me - 17 votes or no. Something about Cs getting struck by lightning.

Just read it. It was ok. Somewhat of an insight which I can at least imagine some other people finding interesting. It's a quote and people's standards seem to go out the window when it comes to quotes. I'm only mildly surprised that it got 17.
Has anyone collected the top-rated comments dealing with math, decision theory, and other technical topics? I'd like to see a site-wide "bikeshedding index" based on the ratio between them and the top-rated quotes.
I agree. I wasn't gunning for Quote of the Month, I just thought this one was good enough to post. We know that gods aren't real, and that augury doesn't work. Fabius has a moment of pseudo-clarity. That's it. I don't understand the point of further nitpicking.
Or halfway decent quotes get more upvotes if they're posted closer to the first of the month.
