I hope you read any article on Hacker News before upvoting it. More than that I hope you read the comments too, because if you aren't an expert that might be one here who can help debunk snake oil before you upvote. I've been caught a few times reading a story, upvoting it, and then finding a well written comment a moment later about what total tosh it is.

  Yes, that happens all the time to me, too. Comments here are often much better argued than the linked articles. And I guess it should be no surprise to you that even well-written articles can be complete tosh.
