I think one could argue that the majority of the "articles" or "posts" on HN are merely the opinions of their authors anyway. There are a few based in fact, or purely fact, or real "News", but a lot of times, they are just asides, or general ramblings of another person on the net - then there are the comments here that add real value to the piece.

You're more likely to disagree genuinely with ONE article than with 150 comments all echoing each other. Alas, downvote me, please.
