I'm not going to take the time to try to work out who is right and who is wrong in this case, but I believe from my limited time here on HN that the attitude you're displaying in this comment is not entirely appropriate. You can certainly make your point without the personal attacks, even if others don't. Please, stick to the facts, and if people mis-understand you then restate your point more clearly and addressing the misunderstanding. If you're right, most times they'll apologise and everything is great. If you're wrong then you don't look like a complete asshole. As I say, I'm not addressing the technical points - I probably don't have the background, and it's Christmas, so I certainly don't have the time. I'm not down-voting you because I can't judge the technical merits, but I'd ask you to be more considerate in your tone. It's one of the things that makes HN so much more pleasant than most other fora. Please.
