>Mad at someone for touching your bum? Speak up.

Where is this being said? People will not take your position seriously if you're not using context, because you're misrepresenting what is happening. This is something thats done in other places, but as far as I know, has nothing to do with the memo, and nothing to do with the parent post you're responding to. Therefore, you're using a strawman.

I'm referring to a Hacker News thread not even 3 weeks old.

In that specific paragraph I'm commenting on Hacker News, not the memo.

A random HN thread from possibly several weeks ago to which you don't provide a link.

Are you surprised that some (most?) people couldn't make a connection?

I did without even having read that particular thread. But I know all too well the types of arguments getting thrown around.

I think it is a question of awareness and beliefs. If you firmly don't think there is an issue then you simply don't notice. I've been at the other side of the fence so I know what it is like ;-)

So it's a myth.

"I saw the topic a week ago, I will not link to it, I didn't even read it, but I'm sure of what was in it"
