With this kind of articles, I just want to thank HN and all of these useful discussions. It's always enlightening moments while reading you guys comments.

Re: "always enlightening moments [reading your] comments."

Not always: I'm a jerk 22.7% of the time.

It's possible to be a jerk and enlightening at the same time. As easy as it is to forget in today's culture of "everybody's a victim" and "feelings over every other concern", a good argument doesn't suddenly become invalid just because the author is rude.

I'd be interested in specific examples to learn from. I'm always striving to make myself a more useful and enlightened jerk. I've already upgraded from a__hole.

I'm curious where's 22.7% comes from?

I'm not telling you because today I happen to be a jerk.
