Clue in on what exactly? That the current top commenter, and others - including myself - got baited? Hard to blame them, IMO. That's the effect when popular press is literally lying to people. :/.

(Also that's why I usually read HN comments even before the original article - in case there's an expert who debunks the story, which happens pretty often.)
