I imagine the reason it's downvoted is not because the point isn't valid, but because of the tone. From the HN guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html > Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

We're not obliged to accommodate bullshit. The above only works when everyone is participating in good faith.

  By the way, remarking about whether a comment should or should not be downvoted is also against HN guidelines: > Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

    Yes, I'm fully aware of that.
