I saw that edit. Indeed you can't predict that rejecting a new thing is part of a routine of being wrong. It's true that "it's strange and new, therefore I hate it" is a very human (and adorable) instinct, but sometimes it's reasonable.
It is an even more human reaction when the new strange thing directly threatens to upend and massively change the industry that puts food on your table.
The steam-powered loom was not good for the luddites either. Good for society at large in the long term but all the negative points that a 40 year old knitter in 1810 could make against the steam-powered loom would have been perfectly reasonable and accurate judged on that individual's perspective.
"I saw that edit" lol
Sorry, just happened to. Slightly rude of me.
Ah, you do you. It's just a fairly kindergarten thing to point out and not something I was actively trying to hide. Whatever it was.
Generally, I do a couple of edits for clarity after posting and reading again. Sometimes that involves removing something that I feel could have been said better. If it does not work, I will just delete the comment. Whatever it was must not have been a super huge deal (to me).
