It /was/ an exchange, between the folks the article mentions it was between. Completely agree with the sibling commenter and you about 'told TechCrunch'. Yours and the sibling comments most-all refer to this point, so just replying once to that - yes certainly misrepresentation is bad, but copy/pasting comments together from Hacker News need not be, as the grandparent poster suggested. Dismissing it as 'modern journalism' with the snide comment in the grandparent post was just lazy.
