Your mistake is simply that you were too blunt. It is exactly the same as Krufix's comment. He stated that Righteous Glory is a health item. Righteous Glory is a health item. So he used that to justify that Righteous Glory would be a better choice.

You stated that you don't appreciate Righteous Glory. You stated that you emphasize on more tankier aspects. You used the notion that your individual focus on tankier aspects justifies why this item is bad.

In both cases the comments were so blunt that they were broken. Krufix didn't acknowledge that the other item, Warmog's Armor, still has superior health and health regen. You, Ntoulinho, didn't acknowledge the reason why Kyubey believed Righteous Glory was good.

Unaccounting the antithesis causes the antithesis to become a threat on both ends. On your end, the rebuttal was how Righteous Glory was good. Then you, again, brushed it off and justified it with your personal build, which was torn down by Akumaryukendan. On Krufix's end, you created a strong rebuttal as to how insignificant Righteous Glory is in terms of health and health regeneration in comparison to Warmog's Armor.

The messages seemed clear at first glance, but looking carefully, the imperfections of logical reasoning can be seen. How can one simply say that because something also gives the same stat that it can be replaced with the other? How can one simply say that his/her personal choice of items gives explanation to why an item is bad? They were both unclear for being illogical. Krufix committed the Fallacy of the Undistributed Middle, and you committed the informal fallacy by making an Argument from Incredulity. This makes both statements unclear, and nothing more. In fact, creating an arguement based on fallacy is a fallacy itself. All that logical fallacies do is distort the message, i.e. make the message unclear.

I understand your perspective in terms of causing people to try and not make another mistake, increase their wisdom. However, enforcing this is far too difficult. Since bulletpoint #2 in General Discussion Guidelines exists, there is a limit to how far we can push people before getting punished. If a policy was created to force people to admit their mistakes, people would rage over getting punished for not participating. Obligations are only given to people who have privileges.

Average users have the privilege to edit and voice their opinions to a reasonable extent. Creating a heavier burden on people who voice their opinions causes them to not want to voice their opinions. Just like how creating a heavier burden on someone for making a mistake causes them to not want to make a mistake. People will become so paranoid of making a mistake that they don't even want to comment. Without comments and opinions being voiced, discussions cannot be made. Our community, as a result, crumbles.
