A lot of clever folks in here attempting to tailor the Emperor's new clothes.

As to whether church membership slipping below the 50% mark is a good or bad thing for America, I'm agnostic.

HN has a strong bias in the same direction as Malcolm Gladwell and the "well ackchually"s of the Internet.

This constant search for a counterintuitive result or explanation means that most comments on things just end up with a massive contrarian bias.

This makes sense. After all, no one is writing "oh cool" and no one is upvoting that.
