Yeah I think it’s suboptimal. It makes sense that the comment had a lot of agree-votes. It’d also make more sense to upvote if Richard didn’t add in his COI after my comment, because then making the comment go up in visibility had a practical value of a) making sure almost everybody who reads Richard’s comment notices the COI and b) making it more likely for Richard to change his mind.
But given that Richard updated very quickly (in <1 hour), I think additional upvotes after his edit were superfluous.
