meta-comment: I honestly don't understand why you are voted down. This is a very valid question. Maybe it's a stupid question, I don't know. I just know that I entered the comments thread here at HN after reading the article specifically to ask this question but the OP beat me to it.
Does this comment adds redundant noise to the conversation? Really? If you have a good reason to disagree with the subject matter (indices seem less attractive that purported) please share it with us in the comments, I know I'd be genuinely interested.

But apparently this particular misconception is more common than I thought, so perhaps debunking it is actually useful.
