So basically, it's flamebait? That'd be a pretty disappointing circumstance. I don't know pg but the HN brand is certainly to rise above stating disinformation to start arguments and drive engagement. I guess maybe that's what Twitter is for, but then maybe the mods should stop that sort of thing leaking to HN ... Any chance you're mistaken?

Many of pg's writings could be categorized as flamebait — if you're not listening closely.

  What are you insinuating that I misunderstood here?

One of PGs things is if you're default dead or default alive. So even if he has never literally read a balance sheet he cares about the information in it.

Sure, I wasn't there with him. It could've been just an idle thought sent from the toilet, not a purposeful flamebait.
