(Meta-comment:
Just jumping in here to voice my appreciation for you & @kspaans correcting a highly voted comment but very incorrect assertion, which is a dangerous combination because some people only read the first few comments and leave with that falsehood impressioned as fact.
Responding with a factual source and doing so in a graceful manner (i.e. not disrespecting the poster, but gently correcting them) is what makes HN great.
Meta-meta-comment: I've seen your posts for well over half a decade and you remark consistently with the quality of StravosK, patio11, grellas, pjmlp, et al. Never clicked on your profile but you're an engineer-turned-attorney, so that's from where the rigor and @grellas vibe originates. Anyways, thought I'd take the moment to say "hey, insightful stuff, keep it up.")
