To truly capture the HN experience, the user should provide a parameter for the number of "well actually"'s they want to receive. So initial response should demonstrate clear expertise and make a great concise point in response to question, and then start the cascade of silly nitpicking.

I think you'll find "I think you'll find" trumps "well actually".

;)

I wish the results were reversed, so I could "well actually" your comment, but 'site:news.ycombinator.com "well actually"' gives ca. 4k results in Google and 'site:news.ycombinator.com "I think you'll find"' gives close to 17k results, so you appear to be right.

[actually_a_dog]

Well, "it turns out that" beats both, with about 26k results ;)

[Jimmc414]

site:news.ycombinator.com "in my experience" 120K results

[genericone]

IANAL: unfortunately only 10.6k results, thought I had a winner for a second.

I am mildly disappointed that none of the phrase pitches in this thread were phrased with the given pitch.
