That is the framing of the article.
- throwaway894345 6y agoI argued that the framing could have been clearer and you responded with "that is the framing". I don't think your response passes the type checker.
- klodolph 6y agoThe framing is obvious from the title of the article. It's a short article. Adding a bunch of context and framing would make the article worse. The problem is that when an article gets shared on HN, people hold it to unreasonable standards of clarity and correctness... the kind of standards that are usually only achieved with careful editing. It's appropriate to level that kind of criticism at a textbook or a Wikipedia article, but the feedback is unwelcome for simple blog posts like this. There's also a weird current of pedantry here, like "I understood the article, but someone else might misunderstand, and so the article should be clearer."
- throwaway894345 6y ago> people hold it to unreasonable standards of clarity and correctness. I only said it would be better if it were clearer. I'm not arguing that it's unfit for HN or any other venue. You're reading much too far into this.
- klodolph 6y agoHN would be better off if people didn't nitpick the framing of articles. That's what I'm saying.
- throwaway894345 6y agoThat's certainly one possible opinion. Let's stay on topic though.
