I agree. I don’t often say I agree for efficiency. You’ve made the point more eloquently than I could and my few sentences in support of you would probably strengthen your point socially, but it wouldn’t improve the argument in some logical sense.
I love signaling agreement when I can do it and be just as eloquent as the writing I’m agreeing with. Famous authors put a lot of work into the blurbs they write recommending their friend’s books. And that work shows. “X is a great summertime romp, full of adventure!” sure is a glowing recommendation, but it’s not that eloquent and I can tell the author didn’t put much time into writing it. Guess they didn’t think X was worth the time to write a real nice blurb. But when a good author writes an interesting blurb for a book it gives me very high expectations.

I think this applies to ideas as well.
