There are no limits on actual HN discourse, which is why you are free to argue that the presence of big money signals that something, somewhere must be right about this deal. Likewise, there are people using this post to rehash critical arguments about Groupon that have nothing to do with this specific post. Ideal discourse is exactly that. As they say, "In theory, theory is the same as practice. In practice, it isn't."
