I am quite wary of people making this argument. While I think HN is a place for mostly on-topic intellectual goodies, I would dislike it if people linked to more emotionally stimulating content. (For what it's worth, I didn't think the "Cab Ride" story was very interesting). It's the same thing with humor - sometimes HN is way too uptight. I see a lot of genuinely funny comments that get massively downvoted because people fear the "reddit" effect.
