This comment breaks the HN guidelines twice over: the one that asks you not to take threads on flamewar tangents, plus the one that asks "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."

Would you please read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and not do these things when commenting here? They reliably degrade discussion, and we're hoping for better than internet median.
