this isn't a "counter narrative" any more than "bill gates put microchips in my vaccine" is a "counter narrative". and i'm not being an asshole here, this is just a factual misstatement of LDI and what transactions are taking place. maybe the peak of the dunning-kruger curve shouldn't be sitting at the top of the thread for the first thing people read? i think asking @dang to at least pin a better explanation is fair.

I mostly agree with your take on the facts. But I don't think you need to call for moderation quite so much. People are wrong on the internet all the time.

yeah true and i'm not asking for anyone to remove stuff, nothing wrong with being wrong (though i wish this person did it less confidently). when i commented though this was the top comment on the thread (still #2) and i was more hoping dang could pin a better explanation to the top. reading something egregiously wrong that's written very confidently first thing can screw up a thread imo.

I've upvoted you for wit and self-belief anyway.
