Because it was overly sarcastic. Hacker News, correctly, prefers commenters to make extended comments arguing a point rather than engaging in 'gotcha!' soundbite counterarguments.
This is both for improved civility (so that actual discussions can take place), and so that people flesh out their counterarguments more.
I apologize to adrusi for my response.
