It’s interesting that this correction has a higher score than the post itself.
People don’t seem to vote posts up or down with the same enthusiasm as they vote on comments. Why? I do not know.
I would guess that it’s because comments are shorter and tend to express a single idea. Posts tend to have a series of ideas, which means a voter is less likely to think all of them are good/worthy of an upvote.
