  Kinda funny how that comment is flag-killed, but an equally unverifiable anecdote is the top comment on the previous discussion, and it claims the same thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17400832 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17400832

    The hive mind is a fickle beast. I think that it needs to contribute to the narative for it not be flagged.

    Perhaps because one provides no further detail, or context to add relevance?

      But since it’s all unverifiable anyway, it’s really just fluff that it ads. Maybe if the poster had personal information in their profile…

        a lot of things are, I don't think it matters if it's verifiable true, it's a single n=1 anecdote anyway. The meaning comes from the reason it was mentioned, which I don't think is fluff.

          What reason? "I can tell an exciting story?" Yeah anyone can say anything they want, doesn't mean it's a good reason to believe it, let alone upvote.

            That a difficult task might be possible using an unconventional method that the competition designers didn't anticipate. Again, I said believing it isn't necessary.
