Yes, I was being dumb. Sorry.

I see you've been upvoted anyways so I'm likely not the only one, but I want to personally thank you for this. People being more willing to admit that they made a mistake and carry on is an excellent feature of Less Wrong and extremely rare in most online communities.

I disagree that it is extremely rare. I've seen a good number of apologies reading reddit, and I think it might be bad to upvote them because it could lead to the motives of any apologizer becoming suspect.
