The comment appears at odds with several items in HN guidelines, like - Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. - Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. - Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community. - Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.
