So what on Earth is objectionable in my comment? I speak from a moderate viewpoint, to take the study seriously, but not apply it blindly, apply my own small amount of experience, and get downvoted to -4?

Did this offend anyone? Please explain how. Otherwise I would perceive the downvotes to be the work of trolls.

How is this substantive?

Ah you're right. Thanks. That was driving me crazy. I should have learned by reading substantive comments found elsewhere. This one below, for example, struck me as exceptionally substantive and now I can see why it hasn't been voted below zero:

"I don't want to show up to work sweaty. And I want the utility of a vehicle if my plans change. So I'll drive regardless."

I didn't downvote you. You asked.

Don't be so worried about internet points.

BTW, that comment netted several magical internet points for whatever reason.
