I keep looking at this and the original comment and it saddens me. It took about 2 minutes for WalterBright to type out his original (IMO awful) analogy then disappear from the conversation. This comment however was carefully written and thoughtfully provides a thorough rebuttal of the analogy while also contributing a lot to the discussion raised by the original piece. But it's not going to get the attention it deserves and doesn't look like it'll get a response from Walter :-/
Apologies for adding a slightly empty comment but clicking the little "upvote" button didn't feel like it was enough.
- the_only_law 4y agoThis is just par for the course on HN. Only engage with the weakest responses to your comment. Do not engage with anything providing a decent rebuttal. Makes your thoughts look more solid and the “opposition” look worse as the thread develops.

- cormacrelf 4y agoDon’t worry, I am used to it. When the Walters of the world run off, that’s fine, I have people like you to get through to. Thanks for your kind words.
