I upvoted it because it's very interesting to see what joering2 said, which I've only ever seen dismissed with a chuckle by people who don't already agree with it, debated in this context, on HN. I'm a firm believer that genuinely and seriously entertaining stupid questions, unpopular opinions, and fringe theories, is the most effective (and engaging) way to learn something new with some immediate depth. Which is what I'm here for. I upvoted joering2 because the developing conversation it set off between rdl and mynameishere is the most interesting and novel content in this thread so far. It is debatably off-topic though.
