I just want to say, I always really appreciate your writing.

Thank you! I’m gonna end up doing a lot more of it in 2026 than I did in 2025… stay tuned!

We recently had a post here where the claim being refuted was in quotes in the title, but half the comments were as if the article were making the claim, clearly indicating that people didn't read it (and don't understand how quote marks work).

Assuming I'm thinking of the same submission as you, the quotes were not present in the original submission [0].

They were (are) in the article title, so that doesn't change the point that it proves that people didn't read it.

Yes, this is an age old problem, for sure.

It's a good thing to keep in mind when you read the comments on any article.

From the other side of the table, I love performance comparisons, so I always read these things. I also enjoyed your commentary, thanks for writing it :)

You’re welcome, glad you liked it.
