I find it's mostly that posting a comment is very different from entering into discussion. There is a surprising amount of friction attached to entering into a discussion on the web, compared to just lobbing a comment onto a page (like

"The problem is, you are talking about art. And art is in the eye of the beholder." Typography is Graphic Design, not art. The goal is usually to impart knowledge to the viewer. A legible message objectively aids in this. However,

You missed the part where the definition of the problem was being percolated during this process. Agile won't save you from not understanding the problem you are trying to solve.

Providing the information on a publicly accessible page provides permission. It's like posting a letter on a public noticeboard and demanding that certain people not read it. If you don't want it read, take it down.
