It's a shame people don't actually read the articles because, assuming the article is actually insightful, you can have better discussions after the community has actually read the article.
And in the case where people don't read the article and just read the headline, many comments have nothing to do with the article, and end up discussing a less interesting misconception of the submitted article's title/headline.
It's great to be generous with our interpretations of comments here on HN. But I would like to push for a higher standard of discussion, which has always been the draw of this community, particularly for technical articles (and this is actually a high quality technical article!). So I don't think I'll ever be happy being generous to a low value comment that re-states an opinion from the submitted article without adding anything or even without adding much.
