I can't gain anything from this sentence.

This is obvious.

According to you only two reasons are possible (and later you also agreed to "misclicks etc."). I'll give one more reason. I clicked on "find this post helpful" for a reply to my question thinking that a useful information is written in it and so it can be helpful to others. My decision was also influenced by the fact that the person has posted trying to resolve my question. Later I thought that it'll be better if I only see whether it helps me, and if it helps someone else then he can click on the link himself.

You shouldn't construct sentences this way. Example if I say:
k3lt01, in case you're using such negative language because of lack of self-esteem then you can try thinking better about yourself.
k3lt01, in case you're talking illogically because of foggy brain then you should eat healthy and exercise more.
Whether I use "in case", the statements are still harsh.

You're saying "growing up" is a better option than undoing a click. There's no competition between these two options that you can compare them.

Thanks for showing k3lt01 a different possibility.

Are you part of the admin team and in authority to decide the priority list of different feature request?

Mouse slips do happen. If one is moving his mouse from one point to a small area on screen with speed then it's difficult to make the landing perfect. Mouse also sometimes slip when clicking, especially when clicking on touch pad. How can one have a better grip on touch pad? On hand held mouse also for efficiency people hold it lightly and not tightly grip it.

If wrong button is clicked due to a mouse slip then that's a "reason" and not an "excuse". You're showing an inclination to use negative words.

Are you writing a book of quotations? How's this related to what's being talked about?

From the other hand if the post itself could be edited (therefore deleted) later ...

I'm not sure what you mean. How can you "help people to take care about their [mice's] steps"? Who will be interested to receive such help?

I respect your point of view. But then do you think that LinuxQuestions shouldn't also have the ability to edit post? Also do you think that ability to undo "like" shouldn't be there on Facebook, also ability to delete the posts (not talking about comments)?
