Technically, your comment doesn't add much to the conversation either.


I agree that my comment is of extremely limited value. Usually I just down vote and move on for that very reason. Today I chose to explain why instead.

The difference is that I believe that my comment has a very small positive value, while I believe that the comment I responded to has a small to moderate negative value.


If you believe that your comment adds value, then so must the parent comment. If that’s true then your comment is false and adds no value.

Quite paradoxical.
