What does it have to do with the substance of the comment?

It provides context. The post was a bare claim without context or evidence, But a poster without any history.

I'd say if you post an accusative claim on a controversial topic as your first post with a new account, it should probably include far more information.

I agree that the context is important. However, there is still a problem here:

- The user name already shows in green, which means a new account. Thus, your comment does not give any additional context. - If your goal is to provide context, I'm sure you do not fail to provide it when an account with a long history and a tons of karma makes a comment that goes contrary to what you want to believe, right?

I didn't know that. The shade is so slight I couldn't tell.

Why would that be necessary? They wouldn't be "throwaway" in that case.
