I find your comment both uncivil and insubstantial (to use terms from the HN rules). You found one tangential thing in the article and disagreed with it. You didn't explain why you disagreed with it, you simply crudely expressed your opinion. Cochlear implants were discussed to death recently (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1505365 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1505365). It's a loud, polarizing topic and further discussion is unproductive. Yet your comment is voted higher than any other in this thread. (sigh)

(sigh) I wish calmly and rationally stating your opinion got people's attention, but it doesn't. Fact is, cochlear implants are very obviously a good thing, and the arguments against them are stupid. There are many issues that are polarizing, but where the right answer is completely obvious to anyone who is thinking clearly and doesn't have a hidden agenda. This is one of them.
