I am not sure I agree. Do you know what I do when I have trouble reading the text in a page. I increase font size. It is only a flick of your finger (ctrl+mouse wheel). So the point is if you have a big enough font size, white on black can be just fine.

Also, should we assume that the people have their vision uncorrected?

I think that black on white is just a fad, perpetuated by following conventions. Like glossy screens.

yeah, black on white is a fad, based on existing conventions, such as the last couple thousand years of printing on paper

Yea. Totally same things. Paper and a display that actually emits light.

For a bunch who calls themselves as "nerds" and "geeks", the HN crowd is becoming pretty dumb lately..
