  Is this a hit comment? The piece is certainly critical. It's certainly from 2017. Why makes you think it's incorrect?

    > Is this a hit comment? very much so. The article begins with a conclusion and then justifies it with mostly ad hominems, making it look incorrect

      The entire point of the article is an ad hominem argument, but ad hominem arguments aren't categorically false. The article argues that his politics influenced the design of the system for the worse, making his politics relevant to his software. Specifically, the article reveals that the initial design of the name system was explicitly modeled on "lockean homesteading theory".
