So, I think this comment is largely correct and yet I don’t think it’s in conflict with my comment. The likely explanation of this discrepancy that what I intended to communicate wasn’t sufficiently explained as I was making a short off-the-cuff comment that was not intended to denigrate in any way the OP’s post.
I now feel bad about the off-the-cuff-ness of my comment because it engendered two large comments.
Just saw this: I upvoted your original comment immediately after reading it and have historically agreed with ChristianKI’s perspective that comments can sometimes be useful merely by the discussion that they generate. Also, I’ve seen you around enough to have a positive impression of you; in fact, I was surprised when I found your comment more pessimistic and hastily reckoned than I expected given my memory of your comment history.

I think the comments it created are valuable discussion. There’s no reason to feel bad about it.
