Editing the quote to remove the "considerably" changes the meaning. The original is not a tautology because the "considerably" suggests a visible step in the curve.
I didn't remove a word. The original was edited to change the meaning.
Yea, you merely interpreted it in a ridiculous way that was not intended, thus requiring an extra word where none would have been needed if maxim of relevance at all held.
Your edited version is far more useful. Thankyou.
My apologies then. It would be useful if LessWrong marked edited posts as edited.
It does mark edited comments, by an * after the date. It does not mark edits to top-level posts or edits by admins (even self-edits by admins, which is clearly a bug).
Thanks, I didn't notice the '*'s.
private_messaging's post is edited. I bet wedrifid quoted it as it originally was, and private_messaging edited it later to change the meaning. Edit2: (To change my posts's meaning, heh) or to clarify the original intended meaning.
Edit: fixed formatting error caused by not escaping the underscore private_messaging's name.
If there a visible step in the curve that would be interesting. If anyone has any sources that makes such a claim, please provide it.
