Yes I agree, I mentioned it recently and then shortly after saw someone referencing dang's quest in another thread, and felt a bit guilty oh-I-hope-mine-wasn't-taken-that-way.

As I said then: 'Usually when I see it it's used either in a humbling reminder that the future isn't known sense, or a suggestion not to underestimate the value in simplifying, de-nerd-ifying existing things that work.' But also perhaps/hopefully the most 'jerky' ones get flagged out of my view, and unfortunately into dang's.

I certainly don't see (and would flag myself) anything I felt was saying 'Oh this [BM] guy doesn't know what he's talking about, what an idiot, hahahaha'. It's usually just 'oof, isn't hindsight wonderful, I must try to learn from this'.
