If there was actual proof we wouldn't be reading about beer on a site that manipulates browser history so you can't use the back button.

Bad web dev practices may hint at a site being unreliable, but it's a bit ridiculous to assume something is false because of it.

I absolutely agree it's not proof.

However, I'd bet it's not statistically independent either. If you assume that submitters to Hacker News often put effort into selecting well-behaved web sites, and if you assume that legitimate news stories are carried by a wide variety of outlets, then it skews the odds in favor of the story not being legitimate.

I never assumed it was false because of that. It's false because there isn't any evidence proving their supposed point.

Back button seems to work fine for me on Chrome.

Try scrolling through the article and then using the back button.

No issues for me with Firefox (Linux and Android). What browser are you using?
