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.
