Where's the "I'm not confused, but I still disagree with you" button?

What do you disagree about?

I agree; the current set up is, in your lingo, infallibilist.

Hi Larks,

So, I designed the links this way for some reason.

Do you know what that reason is? What is it and what's infallibilist about it?

If you don't know, then why do you assume it's an infallibilist reason?

I wasn't saying the reason behind it was assumed infallibility, but that the practice made it hard to criticise ideas.

So, if there was an "I disagree, but want to go to the next page anyway" button, how exactly would that result in more criticisms being written? You don't seem to have been prevented :-)
