When the comment is about truth, then agreement/disagreement is automatically about truth. There are comments that are not about truth, being about truth is a special case that shouldn’t be in the general interface, especially if it happens to already be the intended special case of this more general thing I’m pointing at.
I definitely don’t think that “When the comment is about truth, then agreement/disagreement is automatically about truth” is a true statement about humans in general, though it might be aspirationally true of LWers?
Right. I’m advocating that we do have a symbol for agreement/disagreement about truth, and leave the subjective stuff in the karma score.
