Makes sense, I was genuinely 50/50 about it being sarcastic, but I probably should have been more confident of it, and at the very least should have given more credence to that interpretation than "not sure if...".

I'm honestly confused that you give it 50/50. Even ignoring the context, the "we" in "what could go wrong if we" only works if it's a rhetorical question. And from there, analyzing it as a rhetorical question, it seems obvious to me that the implied answer isn't "nothing".

Do you disagree with either part of my reasoning?

On HN, especially if there's talk of labor (or god forbid, unions), there are often some pretty extreme opinions. And I said I shouldn't have given it just 50/50 odds. I don't see the point in continuing this postmortem.

> there are often some pretty extreme opinions

I just feel like the sentence structure doesn't make sense if they were suggesting that opinion. I'm not basing it on whether I think someone might actually have that sort of opinion. But if you don't want to elaborate on your thoughts then that's fine, have a nice day.
