Yes. No. I imagine most people here (judging by the comments) misread the headline and the URL it was on and then commented without going further than that. This results in a bunch of posts which parrot the original article and add nothing of value. They simple add useless noise.

A few of us can safely sit here and comment, and vote down the comments that do not offer any insight or contribute to the content of HN, but I fear we are in the minority.
