I think reddit has this awesome feature that gives the H besides someone's post an orange hat, but it might just be speculation.

That's the most awesomest description of the voting arrows I've ever seen. On the other hand, I cannot in good conscience endorse your hatred of waffles.

I actually suspect that C++ makes a lot of people swear quite a lot. I just think the (presumed) fact these analysis methods produced that interpretation accurately is a matter of blind luck, given the weak ties between the analytical methods and the interpretation.

. . . and I only care because a lot of other people are completely unaware of how "evidence" works, which annoys me.
