The person who created that picture had no clue what the diagram is supposed to represent. They obviously created the infographic based on a conversation with someone who probably also doesn’t completely understand what their talking about.
Why articles like this must be written at all is what gets me. Someone out there wants this topic to have an article published, and they just don’t really care if the information it presents lacks accuracy.
- dang 9y agoIt sounds like you know enough about the topic to post a comment that doesn't break this HN guideline: Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment is one that teaches us something. In the future, could you please do that instead? Bilious dismissals degrade discussion; explaining a more correct view elevates it. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
