Recently there was a post where the OP pitched an idea for a service related to this community. I don't want to go into details but the post's text has shown that maybe there's some misunderstanding around the technology, and a considerable amount of us also thought that it's not a good idea.
The post was removed (noticed because I couldn't reply to someone) probably because the OP felt shame for their "failed" idea, but I think we shouldn't delete posts for reasons like this.

The post created an interesting discussion around the idea with useful info. It's useful to have things like these for future reference, for similar discussions in the future.
This is an anonymous forum, so there's no shame in recommending things, when you do that politely like it was done in that case.

I really respect people who edit comments to acknowledge when they're wrong, but leave the original mistake intact (but usually strike through). Like this:

~~I delete my comments when I'm proven wrong because it's embarassing and I don't want to perpetuate misinformation~~

Actually, I'm leaving my mistake up, because then people can follow the conversation easier and see how I came to realise I was wrong

Oh, I like that. The strikethough is a nice touch
