I see. So this is more to be interpreted as a rushed preliminary report, forced upon them by appearing at the HN front page, to prevent uninformed rumor to appear and to spread. Or, did I miss something? EDIT: Apparently the latter didn't work, as the very first response to their comment starts with "Do we get points for speculation based on these hints? ..."
