    Ignore the downvotes. Some people think that admitting confusion or ignorance is a sign of weakness, and therefore a thing to be despised.

    It takes backbone to admit you don’t understand something.

      It’s weird that people will downvote a simple misunderstanding, especially one that’s so easy to make if you just glance at the graphs and charts. Fortunately, blahaj doesn’t support downvotes, so we don’t give nor see them.

      To be fair unless the message is edited to clarify the misunderstanding then it’s just promoting the misunderstanding at the top level and the correct thing to do is to drive it further down because it’s wrong.

      A clarifying edit would be helpful and people would react accordingly

        No.

        It adds to the conversation and is a question others may share and it helps the answers to it rise to the top of the conversation.

        Also lemmings have shown little ability to recognize and change vote patterns and will continue to vote on the already perceived consensus.
