My instinct was to down vote because it was already down voted

seriously?

I think that's a very common and logical instinct/bias. I'm fairly confident you and everyone else does this as well. If someone told you two compare two drinks and that one was expensive, the expensive one gets a statistical boon. If someone says this book sucks and the author is an asshole, you're primed to take previously neutral statements and skew them towards a negative understanding.

I always read before voting but ya, we have bias my guy and talking about them is good.
