I put a bit of effort in to providing a comprehensive, multi-pronged, take on my interpretation of what's going on with this use of vulnerable, a use that isn't covered by any of the entries for the word vulnerable listed in any of the dictionaries I have close at hand. I refer you to the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something. Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith. Be kind. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
