This is a purely personal point of view, but I wanted to ask: why do people find this so fascinating? It's been submitted so many times[0], and discussed a few, that I have to accept that there is a non-zero proportion of the HN community who find it interesting. I find that utterly incomprehensible. I'd genuinely welcome someone who finds it of interest helping me discover what I'm missing out on here. Thanks.
