You are not a fool… or so I want to believe anyway.
The Welcome to LessWrong page tells us that it’s fine to just resume discussion even on old posts if you think there’s something to add, and that sometimes new discussions started this way can be worth more than “not wasting your time” replying to old comments. Though of course, if you want a reply from the original author of the comment, you might want to first check if that user is still around, I reckon.
I find it difficult to believe that none of the students would have guessed that the plate was turned around.
Or is this just hindsight bias?
Edit: im a fool, new to posting on LW, just noticed the date. Point still stands though (not that i expect a reply)
