Both of your submissions have received a hefty amount of merit. Therefore, I do not seem them as fitting one of my main criteria of being "under-merited". Good job earning merit, but this is not something I'm going to add onto.
Quality post deserves merit and his rank is still quite low. The content is original so I added some merit and gave some responce. Anytime somebody new steps up and gives a feasible discussion point and is low rank I feel obligated to chip in a bit of merit. If you were hero actually I'd probably still consider it, depending if I agree or not lol :p
