I agree, yet that doesn't seem to be the strategy the author employs. Nor do many other people. In fact having an argumented discussion is heavily discouraged in those "polite" groups and being agreeable is seen as the only acceptable behavior. In other words I'd much rather have this argument/conversation with you than engage in a conversation with a sole reason to cheer the article and everyone who read. But then again I'm on HN on New Years, so by default I'm not a winner in the social interaction game.
