I’m having trouble seeing the intention of this comment. Could you please explain it?

  Eternal September did pass some time ago, so I would assume this comment is from one of our new friends.

  Presumably it’s attempting to call out the fallacy of using personal anecdota to refute a statement, as the title appears to be doing.

    This isn't an objection to your comment, but it should be pointed out that titles do not do anything except represent the article. Articles are the things that say things. One of the reasons why Hacker News is strict about titles is because readers act as though they're information in and of themselves, and we predictably get nonsense discussions as a result. We have Twitter for one-liners about one-liners; we're trying for something a little less slapdash here.
