Worth including authors response to that comment (which completely ignores the suggestion)

Yes, it is apples and oranges but they are both things you can use for a juicy and healthy snack. You don't have to turn the apple into an orange (or the other way around) but it's about understanding the pros and cons of the apples and the pros and cons of the oranges. Then, equipped with that you can make informed decisions."

Seriously, that's the answer?

Really sad that blog post from this author made it to the front page of HN.

Yeah, the responses written by the author are kind of weird. Here's another gem:

    Thanks for that mansplaining. I had no idea that there are more nuances to this.

That's a great way of shutting down discussion without having to address any of the points AND has the advantage that it looks like you know all the subtleties.

The only downside of this technique is that people become less likely to collaborate or help you -- but who needs help when you have great techniques like this to fall back on?

It is a dude posting on his personal blog. He could reasonably ignore every suggestion.
