- credit_guy 1y agoNice roast there, but was it really necessary?
- only-one1701 1y agoI think it’s a pithy counter to the point you were trying to make.
- credit_guy 1y agoSure. It also sounds like you liked the pithy answer opportunity more than you than you care about the substance of what I was saying. Which is a shame, the dialogue on Hacker News is generally better than that.
- only-one1701 1y agoNo, I believe the pithy answer also conveys a sufficient rebuttal to the "substance" of what you were saying. Or to put it more explicitly: the scenario you lay out is rare enough to be of no consequence compared to the much more frequent instances of unremarkable legacies getting a massive handicap.
