Thank you, I'm quite aware that it made me sound rude.

I don't think that hypothetical scare-mongering is very useful in this context. Especially not when it risks mis-representing what the article was actually about. Then it just contributes to the kind of information noise you can find many other places on the internet.

The HN site guidelines ask us to be kind:

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

And to specifically not do what you’ve done here:

Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that."

If a comment inspires you to say something insightful or interesting, say it. Otherwise maybe don’t.
