what part of @saagarjha's comment are you referring to here? TFA is clearly meant to be a riff on Aphyr's posts (they're linked on the first line) so i'm guessing you mean something else?
> give them unsolicited reviews of their work
i mean, a significant portion of HN comments are "i liked/didn't like the article because XYZ", none of which are "solicited" in any way. what's different about this one?
as a writer i'd probably prefer sth like @saagarjha's comment to e.g. "i was hoping it'd be more like Aphyr's stuff, didn't really hit the mark for me"

and i don't mean this as a gotcha, but what's different about e.g. [this comment](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22450007 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22450007) about your own article, saying
> this guy needs to learn to edit things down
your response in that thread was very different despite the comment's harsher tone.
