And for how it played out! I'm sure that this wasn't what happened but it does occur to me that this pattern makes for a pretty good HN-hack by leveraging HN negativity/cynicism and then swooping in with an "oops - it's actually exactly what everyone thought it should be!". Definitely more net attention this way than would have been if it had just read this way originally.
