I DID read the article first, and then saw that other participants here had already identified the handwaving. So there is no hypocrisy here on my part.

- subsystem 13y agoI see about three participants making the argument of handwaving. One of them breaks one of the rules of HN in his opening sentence, the other is name calling and the third has made up his mind years back. I also see a couple of dozen decent comments discussing the article. Take from it what you will.
- davidw 13y agoI'm always willing to change my mind if I see anything different, but Umair articles are pretty formulaic. Also, if a bunch of us are pointing to a problem, maybe there is a problem. Ideologically, I suspect that I have different ideas and opinions than tokenadult. Maybe I have some common ground with Umair. But I cannot stand the hand wavy, ranty approach.
