Actually, the dude (heavily) edited his original post after a bunch of people pointed out that he didn't know what he was talking about.

  Oh I see. This highlights an interesting flaw in the HN edit functionality - it can make the child posts look stupid.

    Yes, and moreso to people who are not, themselves, terribly careful readers. Savvier folks can read a string of knowledgable corrections to a point that (apparently) wasn't made then work out what must have happened easily enough.

      It's honestly frustrating to go down a well-commented post and see a half-dozen "the title is misleading" posts... and then finally one that actually quotes the old title, basically nullifying the validity of most of the discussions one just read.
