If I understand Veritula correctly, we first start with an idea. We accept that idea as true until it receives criticism. When it has received criticism and until all outstanding criticism is resolved, that idea is seen as false. Since the goal is to live a rational life, we wouldn't act in accordance with that idea. We don't submit bulk ideas or criticisms. Ideas (including criticisms), even if related, should generally be submitted separately. Also, avoid duplicate ideas.
I went over it first and made a few changes. After that, Grammarly recommended that I remove the 'a' before 'criticism' and to remove the 'they are'.
… made few changes.
Did you mean to say ‘a few changes’?
Do you know what the difference is?
You’ve since made the change to “a few changes” (as of #1894) but I think that change was premature.
Don’t make changes you don’t understand. Take questions literally and answer them.

@dennis-hackethal* Damn. I didn't know that. But if I understand it, 'few' means not many, and 'a few' means something like five or 6. I have a few close friends.
Great, looks like you learned something new. You’ve found a bit of truth :)
