"I don't really understand this article [...] I don't know anything about this issue [, but I think] that the primary cause was [something other than what the medically trained doctors who examined the patient published the paper suspected...]" Indeed, rhabdomyolysis is commonly found in Army recruits and CrossFit athletes. But clearly the doctors had found evidence in this case! There was a comment that I found particularly insightful a couple months ago about a disturbing trend in HN commenters posting when they had marginal knowledge on a subject, extrapolating often-incorrect data from their own knowledge base that looks good on its face, but falls flat under inspection. Please, resist this urge! It will make HN a better place for everyone.
