I know what the guidelines are. I'm questioning the guidelines.

From my understanding, HN is for intellectually stimulating conversation. If it was 100% talk about database management and regex and software updates, that would not remain very engaging for long.

You're free to hide such stories. This one's title made it very obvious what the subject matter would be.

HN does love brain injuries and anything to do with neuroscience generally (no matter how morbid the injury).
I wish HN had a policy to more strongly moderate posts that clearly have absolutely nothing to do with Hacker culture, but I suppose the noise is low enough for the current policy to not really be a problem?
