| Oct 11, 2015 at 18:49 | comment | added | cp.engr | Thanks for the clarification/update. I can see a more explicit explanation might've helped. I may have assumed too much subject matter expertise from the reviewers, and didn't clarify intent. Re why it matters, haha, good point. :) | |
| Oct 11, 2015 at 18:41 | comment | added | user4151918 | @cp.engr Your first comment led to me improving the answer. I didn't plan for that, but perhaps that also illustrates why it may matter who updates an answer. | |

| Oct 11, 2015 at 18:24 | comment | added | cp.engr | Still curious on my first comment above. | |
| Oct 11, 2015 at 17:46 | comment | added | user4151918 | @cp.engr Although you consider it as a waste of space to comment instead of directly revising the author's post yourself, others may see it as consideration shown the author by giving them the opportunity to improve their answer. It's possible that they'd make additional changes that would go beyond your edit. I know I'd prefer the chance to improve an answer of mine if someone pointed out a shortcoming/omission to me. | |
| Oct 11, 2015 at 16:40 | comment | added | cp.engr | Also, re - "That would give the author the opportunity to update their answer to include that C99 clarification!" Why does it matter who updates it? | |
| Oct 11, 2015 at 16:30 | comment | added | cp.engr | Can you elaborate on these parts? "I can see how a reviewer could get the impression that the C99 functions addition does appear to be a reply to the author. I can also see how a single change to a 4-year-old answer might appear to be superfluous." | |
