Sigh. It was an extension of the joke in the parent, based on the elaborate "25 reasons you're doing it wrong" (or whatever, I'm too lazy to look up the link) list that was high up in the rec list yesterday and the day before, and much maligned. So you see? I, too, (ahem) despise the facile and mocking reuse of negative catch phrases.

I guess subtle humor is just an epic fail on this site.

I, personally, try to save my clever comments for reddit. I attempt to abstain, here, unless I can say something that's germane, insightful, and original; or at least is a question I hope will provoke replies with those characteristics. Of course, if I can make it clever as well, all the better.

1) One data point does not a correlation lend.

2) Voting on individual and particular comments on HN is arbitrary and capricious. You win some and you lose some for no fault of your own, or for that matter, for any particular cleverness on your part on a particular comment you made.

3) Only when the votes on many comments are aggregated that we can elucidate a particular trend.

Understood... but even getting the reference, and understanding part of your intent was to mock that 'doing it wrong' tone, I'd rather not feed that meme at all.
