It’s perhaps not that surprising that this specific counterpoint calling for a ton of more analysis comes from a student still in academia / undergrad…
I very strongly downvoted this comment because I think that personal attacks of any sort have a disproportionately negative impact on the quality of discussion overall, and because responding to a commenter’s identity or background instead of the content of their comment is a bad norm.
Respectfully, I must inquire: what’s the actual personal attack that I have been, most egregiously I might add, accused of making? There’s nothing wrong with being an undergrad. That is a value neutral statement. Just saying consider the source my internet fren. No attack intended and labeling it as such to pile onto a mob of downvotes strikes me as a bit of cyberbullying, perhaps most accurately described as “white knighting” to use the parlance of the Very Online crowd. I must say though. I’m a little hurt and honestly a bit offended by your behavior. I would urge you to reflect on the moral certainty implicit in this interaction and what this says about the EA community.

I didn’t call for a ton more analysis, I pointed that the post largely relies on vibes. There’s a difference.
