Unless you can read minds, you don't know that.

And even if you do, I don't know what you know. I can't read your mind.

Plus, they can disregard the comment as well.

Which is why agreement in a team with different minds and different viewpoints is important.

Just to show a few instances of Jeff King telling you he agrees with you:

 1. "I agree it's not all that useful in that example" [1]. 16 Dec 2020
 2. "I agree with the current definition" [2]. 18 Dec 2020 (same thread)
 3. "I agree the two should behave the same" [3]. 18 Dec 2020 (same
    mail)

The fact that you value Jeff King's agreement and don't care what some other members in the community think, is a personal vale judgement, and doesn't necessarily mean the viewpoints of such community members are objectively worthless.

Cheers.
