When I say that "it made me less confident" that doesn't mean "this is the one piece of evidence that convinced me to take objections to CEV seriously." Taking at face value, it means, "I go through life weighing the evidence I find for or against CEV and this seemed like evidence against, which is always bad."

Taken the way it was intended, it means, "I thought of a joke that only people on LW would get and posted it."
