This is a bad HN comment, not because you don't have anything solid to contribute (I'm sure you do), but because by choosing an uncharitable reading of the OP just in order to smack it down, you make the discussion less specific and substantive.

That's why we have this guideline: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."
