Please do me the favor of accepting my apologies for tone, even if you don't care. So, my original response was intended as a compatibility test. If I were a LessWrongian (I'm giving digs for fun), I would call it a literacy test or an intelligence test. So, if you think that -11 (as once it was) is surprising or not really sensible, we're possibly compatible (even though I think the score is fair; personal biases). Otherwise, less likely (is the intent). I was also considering forbidding people from downvoting me. Apologies: just amusing myself. I'll stop now.
