Seems pretty clear from context they meant "financial" or perhaps "related to money", I don't think we have to put them on the spot for it.
I imagine this is part of the meta-point you're making across the thread that people on HN talk out of their hat about finance (I plead guilty) but I feel like your comment about Money Stuff/"truth searching" was enough, and that asking people to defend their misuse of terminology is punching down.
- arc-in-space 4y agoI agree, but also, maybe some amount of punching down is deserved - there really does tend to be a lot of people speaking in an authoritative tone while being completely wrong in the finance-related hn threads EDIT: I suppose we can scratch the "finance-related" bit
- maxbond 4y agoI'm not saying that people shouldn't be challenged, but that you can do that without punching down. Indeed, without punching.
