Once you've written something, it's incredibly easy to overlook minute changes to the text.

See: why authors wait days, weeks, or even months before editing what they've written (or, if you're more interested: cognitive regression, inattentional blindness, and the effects of misdirected saccades).

1. That's a wild conclusion from his comment! Understand that it's not an "either/or".

2. I'd wager the majority of HN commenters don't read their own comment before posting (pre-LLM days).

Eh that one is on me, if I think too much about my HN comment I end up deleting before posting it. I rely on the 1 min `delay` set in the profile page to fix before it goes live, but for some reason this time it was set to 0.
