I think he's just pointing out that the blog post title is blatant blog spam.
E.g. "Did kqueue willfully violate international law?"
"Did President Obama kill a baby in 1991?"
Etc.
- Kylekramer 15y agoIt is a bit weasel worded, but there is at least some evidence of falsified information that makes this far from a "when did you stop beating your wife?" situation.
- madmoose 15y agoThere's a general rule, though, that if a headline is a question, the answer is no.

- watty 15y agoIf it weren't for this "blog spam", how would HN know about it? Obama may or may not have killed a baby in 1991 but pictures of him appearing to kill a baby would certainly be newsworthy.
