So really the name of this article should be "Five things that Paul Graham and I don't Agree on", not as flashy a title, but probably more accurate.

- klochner 16y agoSo you expected the article to be devoid of opinion?
- hugh3 16y agoI'm pretty sure that "Five things Paul Graham is wrong about" is pretty much the absolute optimal title for an HN linkbait post. The content is hardly important. Five point list plus argumentative assertions plus picking a fight with pg? Absolute memetically engineered brilliance. Congratulations, Mr Rondam, whoever you are.
