This is a generated summary. It shows the 8 most-liked posts from a topic of 57, in their original order, with the accepted answer included where one exists. It is a reading aid and it will miss nuance — the full topic is the record.
On post #10 — agreed on the reasoning, with one qualification.

lyophil_margin, post #42: Narrowing post #41, because the general version has more than one answer. Take the actual numbers and the actual dates.
