For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

This is like congratulating Don Quixote for killing all the dragons.
It's congratulating Don Quixote for trying to preserve chivalric code, no matter how misguided it may be, with the result being better than what you'd think at first glance.
Cervantes actually didn't like the concept of chivalry and was considering a "companion" novel where he depicts chivalry as it really was. It's pretty unfortunate that he never wrote it because I'm sure it would have been a classic.
