...so HN Oh, it's just that folks here can expect a lot when one posts an anecdote. Like how I didn't think all the way through the implications of what I saw, and did I consider...? "Dude, it's just a story." Not intended as an insult, and not quite a compliment, either. But it is one of the things I appreciate about HN most of the time. Take your typical "studies have shown..." post. I appreciate that folks with more experience in statistics and how studies work will post that "it might not be that bad, considering variable Y...", or "with that sample size?". It was just an off-hand comment, perhaps too much of an inside joke.
