    The 00s thing was the only demonstrably wrong part of my comment, and it was long-since corrected when you commented. So I asked why – when you argued that “being wrong” was a key component of the heavy downvotes – you took an aside for that yet conspicuously didn’t mention how the comment with a 10:1 ratio spends half its length confidently spouting complete, easily disprovable bullshit about user-facing folder structures.

    Seems more like a mix of anchoring bias, the bandwagon effect, and a disregard for critical thinking than it does factual accuracy, unless the tone policing component swamps everything else.
