Sure, but so what? Hard != impossible.

EDIT: WTF people? Why is every response to this comment being downvoted into oblivion? The sibling comment to this one (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13395657) was killed in a matter of minutes despite being (IMHO) a perfectly reasonable and constructive response.

Votes aren't why that comment is dead --- note that it doesn't say "flagged". There is stuff that happens behind the scenes that [deads] users, especially new accounts; I think some of it might be voting ring related but not sure.

(That comment is incorrect but I agree with you that it's constructive).
