We all agree that mild competence is better than none at all. That doesn't explain why shminux's comment has received downvotes.

Eh? The expected result of punishing/insulting people for doing something is people doing nothing.

And the expected result of never pointing out when things can be done better is people doing things incompetently.

There's a difference between attacking a person and suggesting an alternative course of action for them to take.

Shminux was suggesting a different course to Kaj but attacking people who upvoted the OP.
