"getting high on your own supply" isn't such a giant insult that you can simply "make the dozen full" and claim whatever you want about the comment. > I am sure it will get plenty of discussion if there's any merit to it. Then you're sure of something that is demonstrably false, and one-off low effort sophistry like this offers nothing of value. There is no hard connection between the merit of something and HN's ability to discuss it.
