I think a bigger problem is the HN reader mind reading what the rest of the world wants. At least when an HN reader telling us what they want it's a primary source, but reading a comment about an HN reader postulating what the rest of the world wants is simply more noisy than an unrepresentative sample of what the world may want.

- chrischen 11mo agoI would guess HN readers are not an average cross-section of broader society, but I would also guess that because of that HN readers would be pretty bad at understanding what broader society is thinking.
