I never said "never"; I implied that it's not the most probable outcome.

You indeed didn't say "never", but the implied meaning was closer to it than to the "not the most probable outcome" interpretation.

Also, saying that LW tends to upvote LW-conventional writings seems a little tautological, unless you have got a karma-independent way to assess LW-conventionality. Do you?

Count the number of comments that express the same notion. Or count the number of users that express said thought and contrast it with the number of users that contradict the thought.

Thank you, werd.

This is my failure as a communicator and I apologize for it.
