I'm not sure why people in comments sections have to be rude by default? The parent commenter was gracious and made a good point and it was a friendly interaction. Neither of us asserted anything about the conclusion or the question. Maybe take a deep breath and count to 10 before commenting next time? It'd be really nice if at least one place was a reprieve from all of the toxic BS that the internet is.

If you come to Hacker News for niceness and kindness, you'll be disappointed. Everyone here is direct to the point of acerbic, argumentative to the point of combative, and somewhat rude. It's a performative erudition that masks recklessness [0]. If you want a reprieve from toxicity, go offline and speak to people in real life.
