Something I appreciate about HN is the number of reverse-bikeshedding moments there are and for which the parent comment exemplifies. Points out a critical flaw and explains it in plain language with no rhetorical flourishes.
Bikeshedding describes our tendency to spend too much time discussing trivial matters, and too little time discussing important matters as a result. It describes the inverse relationship between time spent and the importance of an issue.
