I think your comment here epitomizes what I value about your posting. I’m not here to feel good about myself, I want to learn stuff correctly the first time. If I want to be coddled I can go to my therapist.
I also think that there’s a belief in personal agency that we share. No one is required to read or comment, and I view even negative comments as a valuable gift of the writer’s time and energy.
I wish I could write as sharply and itintelligently as you do. Most people waste too many words not saying anything with any redeeming factor except social signaling. (At least when I waste words i try to make it funny and interesting, which is not much better but intended as sort of an unspoken apology)
