What is that responding to? I wasn't opposed to reading or referencing the full text. My criticism was that it should have led with the core point, so people know what point you're making before they dive into the long exposition of it. What you're advocating here is basically saying that people should never read the description of a movie, or know anything about it, before starting on it, because that's mainly what my edit change. Do you really believe that? Furthermore, HN isn't a movie. If you're going to take two and half hours to make a point, just don't bother with posting.
