I appreciate that comment, but don't like how many up-votes it got. From my experience with Hacker News, the comments with the highest rankings are usually those that point out another post as stupid, instead of those that give valid information.

Nothing "stupid" was pointed out. It's a perfectly reasonable correction, although the original poster probably only phrased it that way since only "HNers" would see his post.

And I know what you mean, but I hope you at least realize the inherent hypocrisy in making a post only to complain about posts not yielding valid information.

You actually grunt about rational and sceptical posts being upvoted? Go read you some Eliezer.
