Oh. That's an uninteresting way to "back up" a statement imo. Crowd wisdom is often wrong.
"Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading."
- bee_rider 3y agoJust a note, the person you’ve responded to is different from the person who made the “joke,” (if that is the right interpretation. I don’t really get the joke, fwiw). It doesn’t really make sense anyway; if the joke is that the comment is “backed” by the fact that HN users are upvoting it—comment scores aren’t visible to people other than the posters, right? So all we know is that it wasn’t smote into the hidden state.
