The solidity of your logic is demonstrated by your assumption that the people you are trying to reach would perceive your post differently whether comments about the content of your post are immediately apparent, or if they need to click twice more to find the opinion of others on the forum. LOL. I thought you were trying to talk to more capable people.

And "As an experienced scientist and researcher" - usually we supply more substantial and verifiable credentials when trying to talk to people about even halfway serious topics.
