While we&#x27;re ignoring the very specific statistical requirement to have at least a minimum of a significance level, could we please stop using the faux-grammatical prepositional-because?<p>Regarding upvotes as a proxy for &quot;me too&quot;: an upvote doesn&#x27;t mean &quot;me too&quot; in many cases, it means &quot;this comment was something I thought contributed to the discussion in a meaningful way.&quot; Thus using upvotes as a proxy for a sample size counter, isn&#x27;t even remotely accurate because upvotes do not necessarily correlate to me or anyone else sharing your sentiment. They only correlate to someone saying that your posting added value.<p>I upvote things all the time with which I disagree because the commenter made a strong argument and it added to the quality of the discussion. I downvote things with which I sometimes agree because perhaps the point was badly made, inflammatory or otherwise not enriching to the discussion. And then, I also downvote comments that use trendy I &quot;haz cheeseburger&quot; level diction. Of course, given my own guidelines, I probably ought to downvote myself.
