For what it’s worth, I think if you had instead commented with: “As a newcomer to this community, I see very little evidence that EA prizes accuracy more than average. This seems contrary to its goals, and makes me feel sad and unwelcome,” (or something similar that politely captures what you mean) that would have been a valuable contribution to the discussion.
That being said, you might have still gotten downvoted. People’s downvoting behavior on this forum is really terrible and a huge area for improvement in online EA discourse.
