It's not that simple. My own personal history has shown me time and again that sloppy writing is usually unintelligent writing. The odd typo is worth overlooking, but poor grammar and spelling are reliable red flags. In this case, it's a transcript, so the typo is a red herring. I didn't know it was a transcript when I started reading, though. Like the parent commenter, I stopped reading there. When I've just opened a bunch of tabs off the HN front page, everything's got a paragraph to catch my interest before I move on.
