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.
