The thing I love about HN are the comments from domain-experts - e.g. tptacek on security, grellas posts on law or a direct response from a founder/creator. These kind of comments always seem to be very insightful. I don't value general discussions that much and I don't think HN is a very good medium for discussions.
- ww520 16y agoI think it might be better to ignore the roles of an expert and evaluate the comments by themselves. If the comments are insightful, they can stand on their own. Evaluating the comments by themselves help to develop critical thinking and avoid being spoonfed by others.
- scott_s 16y agoWe know those two are domain experts because we have done precisely that.
- amix 16y agoArguments from authority are a fallacy and I am not saying that I trust blindly someone just because they are an expert. I am just stating that domain experts on HN generally have some really insightful comments :)
