You may be right, but yes you're wrong to assume it. People assume all kinds of things about HN, and there's a huge amount of bias involved.
But my point is that it's in bad taste to diss a community you belong to, while participating in it, as a rhetorical status move. People do this all the time, but we've noticed that it's reliably a marker of low-quality comments, so we're going to start asking them not to.
