Important or not, it *is *a non-technical difference
that’s three
It’s zero.
The average (or median, etc.) comment or the average post is irrelevant for the purpose of the discussion that we’re actually having here, which is about whether it makes sense to reward contributors differently based on whether they have written a post or a comment. In such a case, the only thing that could matter is that actual post or comment. And so the only kinds of properties that could be relevant are those which attach to any post or any comment—not aggregate statistical measures of all posts on LW and all comments on LW!
(Before you call “bad faith”, consider checking whether you understand what your interlocutor is saying.)
It is literally a technical difference, and you were the person who started doing the asinine literalism in the first place. I guess it’s cool when you do it, but not when your interlocutors do?
Accusing you of “bad faith” did not go nearly far enough, evidently.
Edit: just noticed how you deflected only one of three examples, and then simply ignored the two others to tell me I had given zero. Constant sleight of hand. Crazy.
