He's under no such obligation. Unless you have hard proof it would be nice if you did not contribute to attempts to label people here as shills. See HN guidelines.

Ha, fair enough. I would like to argue but the relevant comment has been flagged, so I don't have the material to make a case, and I gracefully concede this point.

However while we're being HN etiquette pedants, the original comment clearly breaches this guideline:

> Eschew flamebait. Don't introduce flamewar topics unless you have something genuinely new to say. Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents.

The original comment virtually embeds a confession that it is flame war material:

> Cue the argument that these "don't count" because they use CUDA.

I introduce this just to point out that a strict interpretation of the HN rules can stifle reasonable discussion.
