  Is it too much to ask the article's author to assume the bloody obvious? > I just want to know why. I'd wager more than a few people at Github are scratching their heads, wondering if the article's author's IQ is higher than a shoe size.

    That crosses into personal attack, which is not ok here. Please read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and don't do this again.
