Maybe Dan should've told a story instead of leaving HN room to bicker about his vague "solution" ;)
But my suggestions actually offered a story indicating what was wrong in a (hopefully it was sort of off the cuff) clear manner. I found the article to be lacking a clear demonstration of what was wrong and specifically actually lacking a clear solution.
What I stated above wasn't what I read in the article, it was my proposed solution to what I discerned the issue to be.
> Instead of: "Hey HN, I just wrote a badass new streaming protocol" and linking to the github source, specifically mention your concerns about continuing to rely on TCP for video streaming and the buffering lag it induces, link to a blog-ish thing which links to your source but frames a number of questions or doubts you have around your project if you, indeed, are at a loss and want to turn to the internet as a whole to try and solve them.
That sounds exactly like an example of Dan's suggestion to "tell a story."
