I didn't comment on wether someone read the article. I stated that the description is accurate enough for it not to mandate a picture.

I was not replying to you, but rather to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21776078. Probably you were confused by that comment being [dead], and assumed that I was replying to your adjacent one instead.

This happens from time to time, and I'm not sure how best to eliminate the confusion.

So instead they just hired people who looked a specific way instead of using technology to make them all look a specific way.

I read the article. We obviously have very different interpretations, but I’m unsure why you think my comment doesn’t make sense. Could you clarify?
