what's the point of your - rather elaborate - reply?
- pyre 17y ago1. Sometimes articles rub me the wrong way, and I feel a strong compulsion to 'go on the record' refuting the problems I see or 'complaining' (for lack of a better word) about the issues with the article. 2. I channel that into a comment here because I found the article through Hacker News 3. I feel my comments could generate discussion. I could be completely wrong/off-base in my thought process, hopelessly naive on a topic or completely mis-informed. 4. I also enjoy the Hacker News/YC community here, and I feel that by pointing out these things that irk me (or adding additional commentary to some of the points that the article makes) I will enrich the community. I guess I should note that I'm not just pointing out grammatical errors or complaining because 'beg the question' wasn't used correctly.
