Shortly after someone will correct it and supply a correct answer. Unfortunately I didn't save the tweet(?) and I don't think I could find it again.

	I think this explanation misses the case when someone is ''factually'' wrong on the internet, and doesn't just have a different opinion. For example, when someone on Facebook "discovers" that the Mercator map projection is "wrong" and that the "true" one is Gall-Peters (true story), I believe even Randall would feel the need to say something. But of course, the border between factual errors and arguing is very thin...
