That's a very valid point! I simply assumed due to the subject matter (coding discussion, in depth tech industry discussions), the average HN reader would be more well read as opposed to your average X user.
- warrenm 3y agoBeing deeply informed on a handful of subjects is not the same as "more well read" It's "more well read about those subjects" :)

I am explicitly asking you to reconsider these assumptions, think about where they come from, and think if they have any real data to back them up at all
