I don't think that your analogy is fair. The blog post talks about different approaches to "getting rich." A lot of people here are interested in this issue. So, the article gets voted up. For whatever it's worth, I'm have zero interest in getting rich. I wish HN were more about tech & code and less about the money and success. But that isn't a decision I get to make. Having said that, the article engaged me because it made me think about the psychology of people who do care that much about wealth.
