Why does this post have so many points? How is that article useful to most readers? I sometimes don't understand HN.

Performance matters... the article talks about a case that most of us aren't confronted with.

Beside, it concludes that in spite of paper being slower, it's still prefered, so how does that prove that "performance matters"?!

Should an article be upvoted just because an article is about life and death and has a catchy (pretentiously) laconic title?

Paper is preferred because it has better performance than the software, which is the thing that people should think about. Writing software that can outperform paper shouldn't be hard to do, but apparently it is.
