If deletion is possible, there is very little clutter. If deletion is not possible, and the comment says "I can't figure out how to delete this," at least it discourages other people's experiments. But this thread is itself clutter, so I don't think that is your true rejection. As to bluntness, I conclude that my being less blunt caused you to confabulate bullshit.
PS - I experiment on the open thread.
On reflection, it is probably more accurate for me to say, "I wasn't interested in experimenting, including for concern that the experimenting would look low status, and I have higher preferred ways of acting low status."
As for my own choice not to be blunt, you are not correctly modelling my thought process.
In short, I gave two reasons for my action, and you might be right that one was confabulation, but not the one you identify as confabulation.
