now how does this tell us anything we couldn't learn by looking up "xxx" on wikipedia? That applies to many things written. Not sure why you're singling this out. If every blog post written had to include original research, there wouldn't be much writing going on...

This is hacker news, I expect that things posted here are noteworthy to people who know what they are doing and can research stuff they are interested in for themselves. Posts of the type "Did you know that the tooth fairy isn't real" are a waste of time to the professionals who read hacker news. Also, anything I spend my time reading through expecting something unique / new and find nothing I respond this way.
