In no way shape or form is that phrased as your own personal opinion. You asked the parent commenter for a source and then parroted an alternative theory as what actually happened. Considering you were so adamant on asking a source for the other person’s theory, and were so sure of your own, that you must have proof of it, right?

To be frank, your opinion of another HN user's comments doesn't outweigh anyone else's opinion. If your unsure about this point, perhaps review the HN rules? If it was indeed as you say, and that the large majority of passing readers indeed perceived it as such, then the previous comment would have been downvoted into 'dead' status a while ago. Since it hasn't, then that's proof enough.

  Look in the mirror; your entire comment applies to you. Linking the lack of downvotes to people's opinions of said comment is a reach at best. Downvoting here doesn’t happen nearly as often or for the reasons you think they do. This isn’t Reddit. Things don’t just get downvoted because people disagree with your opinion.

    Okay so you agree that both our opinions in this comment chain aren't likely to be confused with statements of fact? Then there's nothing in dispute?

      That’s not what I said at all but is certainly a much easier goalpost to defend. You still haven’t provided a source for that claim of yours. If you consider the other comment as fact to the point where you corrected it, then yours is just as much. Also, next time, maybe keep track of the people you are replying to.

        Maybe you should take a look at those guidelines yourself, bud.

        I have? Your also free to opine that I don't know the HN 'guidelines', but it's unlikely that will lead to anything productive.
