Also, not sure why my comment was downvoted. I wasn’t being rude (or, I think, stupid) and I think it’s unhelpful to downvote without explanation as it just looks petty and feels unfriendly.
I didn’t downvote, but:
In which case I’m not understanding your model. The ‘Cost per life year’ box is $1bn/EV. How is that not a one off of $1bn? What have I missed?
The last two sentences of this come across as pretty curt to me. I think there is a wide range in how people interpret things like these, so it is probably just a bit of a communication style mismatch. (I think I have noticed a myself having a similar reaction to a few of your comments before where I don’t think you meant any rudeness).

I agree with this on some level, but I’m not sure I want there to be uneven costs to upvoting/downvoting content. I think there is also an unfriendliness vs. enforcing standards tradeoff where the marginal decisions will typically look petty.
I didn’t see it as all that snipey. I think downvotes should be reserved for more severe tonal misdemeanours than this.
There’s a bit of difficult balance between necessary policing of tone and engagement with substantive arguments. I think as a rule people tend to talk about tone too much in arguments to the detriment of talking about the substance.

Yeah, on re-reading, the “How is that not a one off of $1bn?” does seem snippy. Okay. Fair cop.
