So it's a "9 point" positive to say something that reiterates a commonly perceived problem and offers no solution and also makes a factual error,

If you're Robin Hanson, sure. Also note that the comment is from '07: the voting system wasn't put in place until after the move from Overcoming Bias (Hanson's blog) to LessWrong. If a similar comment was made today it would probably be voted up much higher. Or maybe downvoted, who knows.

but to direct someone to a place that actually addresses their problem is a -1.

Here, I gave you an upvote. Now it's a 0. Karma means too little to stress out over like this.

Cool, I'm getting a feel for the website now, cheers.

Good day to you too.
