>Please don't devalue and dehumanize your opponent and their contribution by calling them an edge case and a 0.001% outlier.

Why devalue or dehumanize?

I tend to view "being outlier" as something positive

Even when someone argues that your opinion is less valid since you are an outlier? Like (for my eyes and ears) the parent comment does?

I believe s/he wanted just to remind or make him/her aware, not devalue him/her.
