What do you mean by incoherent?

Not the original commenter, but I was also thrown a bit by the structure of the blog post. Most items posted on HN are on a single topic, and I didn't realize going into this item that I was dropping into a multi-topic finance newsletter.
Based on the title, I was expecting a single, unitary article that was about hedge fund size and tax arbitrage. It took a while for me to realize this was not the case.
I expect to read technology articles here, not the unfocused thoughts of a finance columnist on 5+ different topics.

I think it's the unfocused thoughts on a range of different topics that's the problem.
I don't mind reading about non tech things. Rambling musings on the other hand don't really do it for me.
It's not much different than reading 5 separate non-tech posts on HN.
That individually would never have made it to the front page.
