I disagree that it is a quibble. Not having context is different than being strung along to increase engagement metrics. I didn't know what CRDT was either, but I spent 10-15 seconds searching it and then read the rest of the post, which I thought was otherwise extremely well done. I actually subscribed to Joseph's RSS feed because I was so pleased with the quality of the writing on the blog. I do agree that engaging in this sort of disagreement on HN is low-yield, however.
