I think it's too easy to say it "makes no sense" when you have no skin in the game. If this HN post stays active for a while, it's likely that there will be a lot of "there is no excuse" and "shoulda just had more women lol"; which is probably why they tried shooping this to begin with. People would probably have criticized the image either way, even if this particular attempt to quell that is... clumsy.
