'obviously', I tend to correct wrong answers, instead of feeling inclined to answering straight out haha

I appreciate your response to this and also as a confirmatory source more than you could ever know.

I think you mean that you follow Cunningham's Law. /s

(I tried to phrase that as a correction)

Can you like summarize even if its an edit when youre citing a long wikipedia article

Edit: i get tired of playing "Where's Waldo" with facts/referenced content at the end of a long day

Cunningham is credited with the idea: "The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer."[17] This refers to the observation that people are quicker to correct a wrong answer than to answer a question.
