"This is a good read" is a statement of opinion. You're free to assign whatever value you like to the op's opinion, but that opinion is "content" in and of itself.
"The article has false claim" is a statement of fact. A vague statement of fact about a non-obvious topic that puts no effort into providing concrete examples and reasoning is pretty much worthless.
- jessaustin 8y agoAdding qualifiers makes a statement have less content? Please try to imagine using this questionable argument in any other context... It's a controversial topic and TFA was written by someone with a commercial interest. Everything is opinion. The level of comment-policing I see here makes me quite suspicious of everything in TFA. [EDIT:] aargh I'll never learn every discussion that starts with "content-free" cliche goes nowhere... just downvote and move on...
- haberman 8y agoIf you're suspicious about me, it's not very well-founded, considering my main comment thread on this story takes issue with the blog's claims: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18039801 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18039801 I just prefer to have discussions about specific things, not posturing and innuendo.
