I can't edit the post anymore, but after reading the comments, taking a break, and comming back to this, I realize that I didn't use the right language here. The tone is too negative and demeaning to the author. Since I felt that the article was unfair to Beast I "attacked back" in this post and that was wrong (perhaps in a way childish). I still hold the main points, but I think the word childish is not a nice word to use and lowers the overall discusion on HN. "Unreasonable" would be better, but the effect is not as good and misses some points in my opinion. But I think the effect shouldn't be the focus here. Attacking the author shouldn't be the priority at all. Childish implies an intelectual defect, and that can't be removed from the meaning. That's not what I meant in the context of my argument. But that shouldn't matter.
