How would the current thoughts of someone commenting about the same topic a few years ago be particularly relevant to our conversation today? As far as I see, the argumentation isn't particularly novel or unusual either. It's a pragmatist take, discounting methodological concerns in favour of expected outcomes. I think that take probably summarizes a quarter of the current debate.

The take is relevant because it's being quoted in answer to its own author.

  Oooh, I see. Thanks for highlighting that! I guess this is an example of how little personal brand visibility HN provides next to the comments itself.
