To the downvote, in case it wasn't clear, I was laughing because I agree with the post, and because "simplify the living daylights out of your calculations" is just an awesome phrase. I laugh at things I agree with way more than things I don't, because the former things actually make me happy. (And the latter kind of laughter, on the rare occasion that it happens, I keep to myself.)
But if the downvote was for irrelevance, fair enough. I wouldn't mind being told that expressing appreciation of writing style alone is frowned upon.
It's a matter of how it's done. The more analytic and descriptive it is of what was good and how it worked, the better a reaction it's likely to get.
I would guess that this was downvoted by someone misreading it as an attack, interpreting the laughing as considering it worth ridicule.
