FYI I downvoted this comment because I don’t believe it’s useful to post short comments agreeing with the parent comment (that’s what upvotes are for!).
I’m not sure I agree; it’s useful to be able to indicate different levels of strength of agreement. Also, I’ll often upvote comments whose conclusion I disagree with if I think they made a useful contribution to the discussion.
I’m working on expanding this idea into a full post; what I have now is a fine tumblr post but not nearly polished enough for EA forum. Would you be willing to take a look and give comments? A lot of what I want to do is talk about what decisions need what information, and you’re in a good position to know that.
Exactly.

I agree with Owen—a comment is a stronger upvote, plus it’s public where upvotes are private.
