Edit: for context though, my own downvoted posts tend to be genuinely unpopular. e.g. this one may arguably have the distinction of being the least popular post of that entire community, if you sort by controversial and see that it is the first one with double-digit total numbers. It doesn't matter how that whole situation turned out - people just did not enjoy seeing it, like at all, though I indeed found it interesting.
And, amusingly, it turned out to be right.
I have never known Jon Stewart not to be. Unless he says in advance that he might be. His discipline, his willingness to listen to feedback, his dedication... all of that means that his wrong thoughts tend not to make their way on the air. Although this might have been before Jon Stewart's airing of that episode?
I suppose it could have been wrong - like if Biden really did just have a cold or some such. But either way, the logical foundation that the article set forth intrigued me.
