You're misusing that fallacy here, but I don't fault you, because my point is subtle. My claim isn't that their point is invalid because they're hypocritical about native american history, my claim is that their gauge of

Be intellectually honest. Show me a single front page post "vilifying America's natives." You won't find it, but you'll find plenty in the other direction, because a large portion of HN's user base has a shamel

Number of tokens is still a useful metric, as their endpoints have Tokens Per Minute quotas. Decreasing number of tokens used means increasing throughput, up until the Request Per Minute quota.

The alternative is either know that person for a long time previously or "just trust me bro." Checking what they've been up to is a middle ground.
